Sinekatalog’s take
A healer in the mountains uses mysterious rituals to cure the sick and help childless couples. With its blend of folk spirituality and drama, it appeals to viewers curious about Central Asian traditions told with a quiet, mystical tone.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
