Adilkhan Yerzhanov : 2014
Twenty-five-year-old John, his teenage brother Erbol, and their sickly twelve-year-old sister Aliya, are forced to leave their house in the Kazakh city of Almaty. They have only one alternative which is to return to a remote little village in Kazakhstan to live in the house left to them by their deceased mother. But once they arrive, the three siblings discover that the house has been occupied illegally for the last ten years by the District Officer's alcoholic brother, who has no intention of letting the house go without a fight. A tale depicting society's indifference to injustice, harassment and the despotism of corrupt public authorities. Adilkhan Yerzhanov's third feature premiered in the Séances Spéciales at Festival de Cannes 2014.
