Sinekatalog’s take

In the high mountains of Kyrgyzstan, a raging disaster nearly takes the life of a young zootechnician at a collective farm. A Soviet-era regional drama of courage and labour, mainly of interest to those exploring Central Asian film history.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
