Abel (2026)
The year is 1993. The time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, when collective farms and state farms are disbanded, and property is subject to division and privatization. In a collective farm in Southern Kazakhstan, no one has faith that the property will be divided fairly: the leaders have long exceeded their official powers and divided the sheep among themselves. The hero of the picture would also like to receive his share in the division. As a result, after going through many difficulties, he will face a serious moral choice...
