Polchanki

Directed by Nursultan Zarylov

After a high-profile protest, the daring activists of ‘Egemen Ayimdar’ face a tough choice: a month in prison or a month in the army. Their provocative statement - ‘We can serve just like the boys!’ - explodes across the media, and those in the highest offices decide to prove them wrong. But the girls accept the challenge. Now they have to face a harsh colonel, army discipline and competition against seasoned soldiers - all for the sake of one question: can they defend women's rights and prove that underestimating them is a mistake?
