In the boundless Kazakh steppe, in a house on a hill, old man Agatai lives. His beloved wife died a long time ago, they had no children, there were no relatives left. But Agatai does not give up, his life is full of worries and labors. He takes care of his modest household and, as best he can, protects and protects the expanse of the steppe, which he considers his homeland. And another good deed is done by an old man: he adopts a child who ran away from an orphanage, who accidentally wandered into a house on a hill.
Reviews
Excellent but underrated film
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
