A darkly comedic romance about an ex-con and his partner pursuing an unlikely dream of escape, caught between love and the violent world they're trying to leave behind.

Ex-con Kermek and his beloved Eva want to leave their crime-infested lives on the Kazakh steppes behind. He has a dream: building a movie theater in the mountains. Will Kermek's love of Alain Delon be strong enough to keep them out of the violent clutches of the mafia?
