Shy and reserved, Aidana grew up in a conservative Kazakh family. The transition to a new school gradually changes her life: she understands more and more who she is and what she wants. And friendship with a classmate Zhenya opens up feelings previously unknown to them in both of them.
Reviews
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
