The Gentle Indifference of the World

Saltanat is a young woman who grew up in the countryside. Her father dies without warning. What he leaves behind is a large debt. If it is not paid her mother will go to prison. To find the money Saltanat has to go to the city. The quiet of the village gives way to a hard order. Kuandyk has been her friend since childhood. He has no money but he does not leave her alone. He follows her to the city. Her uncle presents her with a possible husband. The man promises to clear the debts. But the men in that city do not keep their word. Kuandyk tries to find the money another way. The attempt puts him in far worse trouble. Neither of them gives up even so. Dinara Baktybayeva and Kuandyk Dyussembaev appear in the hundred minute film, a French and Kazakh production Adilkhan Yerzhanov finished in 2018.
