Poet

Synopsis

Didar is a poet, but he cannot live from his poetry. He is only able to write in the morning before going to work as a newspaper editor. With his coworkers, he usually discusses whether or not the national language is in danger of extinction, due to the English globalization. Omirbayev makes Didar read a book about the Kazakh poet Makhambet Otemisuly, which allows him to dangerously unite tradition and modernity.
