Synopsis

The feature film Aydinlar narrates the history of the Aral Sea region, the past and present of the city of Muynak in particular. The protagonist of the film, Seyit, watches from a young age as the city of Muynak, where he was born and grows up, lies in ruins because of the drying up of the Aral Sea. Seyit is brought up by his grandfather Nurpeis, who tells him fairy tales about the sea, while he grows up alongside Kizlargul and Maman. But as soon as he is not a child anymore, he is forced to leave Muynak to have another fate.
