Synopsis:
Set in the unforgiving landscape of a Kazakh neo-western, the film tells the story of a desperate man pushed to the brink. To fund his gravely ill son's life-saving surgery, the protagonist risks everything by agreeing to take part in a robbery. However, at a secluded gas station at night, the plan shatters when a fatal gunshot sparks a brutal chain of murders. Confined to an interrogation room, he is forced to reconstruct the chronology of that nightmarish evening, even as he is tormented by inner turmoil and a 30-year-old childhood trauma tied to his late father.
