Synopsis

The Kazakh village Karatas has been living for a long time under the threat of a criminal boss called Poshaev. He provides housing and jobs for the locals but will ruthlessly execute anyone who dares to oppose him. This is the lesson Arzu learns first-hand. His wife Karina is murdered after giving the police information of the crimes that are taking place there. Arzu is a cripple and now he has to raise his little daughter alone. He feels so helpless and grief-stricken that he doesn’t even seem to be contemplating revenge. Poshaev takes him under his wing and offers him a job as a guard at a construction site. Arzu has the chance to prove his loyalty, and he becomes Poshaev’s right hand. But where do Arzu’s real loyalties lie – with his boss or with the idea of justice?
