Aidar returns to his native village after a decade in the city, only to find a peculiar epidemic: the locals have begun behaving like characters from Hollywood movies. His father speaks with Clint Eastwood's voice, while a neighbor imitates Marilyn Monroe. Trying to make sense of it, Aidar encounters a local scientist who claims it's the result of a leaked experimental gas affecting collective consciousness. The 2025 comedy-drama balances absurdity and nostalgia, exploring cultural identity in the age of globalization through the lens of sci-fi and Kazakh humor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Ashat Kushekov constructs the narrative through contrast: static, almost documentary-like shots of the village alternate with grotesque scenes where characters parody Western film clichés. The camera often observes from a distance, as if studying an anomaly.

Those who appreciate social satire blended with a warm homecoming story will find each gag serving character development. What lingers is the uncanny recognition of foreign cultural codes in a familiar setting. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Yerden Telemisov
