The world premiere of the
Kazakh-Turkish film ‘Sophiya’ took place at the 77th annual Cannes Film
Festival. According to the filmmakers, the movie attempts to delve into the
human soul, showcasing emotions and relationships that unite everyone,
regardless of time, age, social status, and place. The lead roles in the film were
played by Turkish actress Yana Rai and Kazakh filmmaker Tulepbergen Baisakalov.
The filming took place in two countries, primarily on the shores of the Black
Sea in Istanbul, and in a Kazakh village. The movie is scheduled for a wide
release in Kazakhstan this autumn.
