Through the life story of the main character, Kuntugan Turgynbayev, the filmmakers reveal the history of the Aral Sea and the changes that have taken place in the region over the past decades.

The restoration of the Aral Sea is under the special supervision of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, which certainly gives hope viewer Nurlybai Ulykpanuly said.


Another film presented to audiences was Sert. It is dedicated to the response to the natural disaster, namely the massive floods of 2024.
