Writer and director Gulshat Omarova (Schizo/The Recruiter) returns with another original and striking story that proves she's a talent to reckon with. The film co-written and produced by Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) is a spiritual thriller where globalization clashes with the ancient ways in rural Kazakhstan. A local businessman and crook wants a piece of land that belongs to a healer for his gas station and casino. What a first seems like an easy deal, they found out that the old lady is a force of nature and the wrong person to mess with. Omarova weaves an interesting and entertaining tale instead of following the usual formula of world cinema that you usually see. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
