overview: In the mid-1920s, Salimsak, an ordinary Kazakh from the steppe, was disliked by his wife for degrading the family by playing the female role in a play against polygamy. He unintentionally uttered the word "Talaq" during an argument, and according to local religious tradition, if a husband says "Talaq" to his wife three times in a row, it means he is divorced. While Salimsak, who has never thought of leaving his wife, prays for a solution, his wife, under the influence of the popular slogan of "women's liberation", is thinking of divorce. ......... The collapse of Salimsak's small traditional family in the current of the times is a metaphor for the collapse of director Daniyah's family. The metaphor of the collapse epitomizes the core of the films of the director Daniyar Salamat, who has been writing in Kazakh since his debut and believes that cinema has a great significance in social education, and that the spirit of the nation cannot be restored without the progress of cinema.

title: 悼歌

overview: Darkhan 在離家七年後帶同女友回哈薩克探親，祖父一方面為與心愛的孫兒久別重逢而感到高興，另一方面慨嘆哈薩克的文化傳統將逐漸失傳。遊牧民族傳承文化靠的是一張嘴，單單詩詞歌賦便足是哈薩克族最引以為傲的藝術文化，可惜的是，大部份新一代卻不懂得説哈薩克語。Darkhan 夾在中間，能聽不能説，悲哀在能欣賞傳統的美卻無法將它們傳承下去。導演以首部長片緬懷已長辭人世的祖父，將詩意寄於圖像，探討後蘇聯時期的哈薩克族身份認同問題。

title: Voice of the glacier

overview: The Tujuksu in Kazakhstan has lost about 57 million cubic metres of ice since 1958. Because it is melting so quickly, it is assumed that the glacier, which is important for the water supply of the whole of Central Asia, will no longer exist by about 2050. The region is thus threatened with acute water shortages. The consequences will be devastating: social and economic tensions on the ground are already pre-programmed. Yadykar Ibraimov's breathtaking nature footage shows the work of the scientists who document the melting process of the glacier, which they can only climb on foot. The director also gives a historical overview of research activities that already existed at the beginning of the 20th century. He delivers shocking images, information and food for thought that resonate for a long time.

overview: This documentary reconstruction of a heated conflict between mother and daughter is inspired by Lars von Trier's Dogville.

The tragedy of the replayed event stands out all the more as the actors seemingly lose interest in it over time.
