Seagull

Α love story between a prostitute and a loser sailor, rebuilt between two seasons: the eternal winter of Siberia and summer in the dusty steppes of Kazakhstan. It's the story of three ways back home. Aysha's return to the steppes of Baikonur. Asylbek's trip to the innermost mountains of Seit. And Tursyn's way home to face what remains of his family: an old nomad about to die and a shipwrecked father. Both of them will bring back the vague memories that Tursyn has of his mother. It is the adventure of joining those memories that life left scattered in the most distant tundra, almost at the end of the world. The film premiered in competition at San Sebastián Film Festival 2012.
