2025 | Fiction | 79 min. | Kyrgyzstan
A 70-year-old director yearning for artistic freedom is forced by his producer to write a crime film, constantly altering the script to suit the investors — but the disorderly filmmaking process soon spirals into a farcical mess of its own.
Directors Statement
Creating a film is like painting on a canvas that constantly shifts beneath your hands. Inspiration alone is not enough — financial realities pull the brush in unexpected directions. I have often faced clients who demand scripts or changes, only to turn and change their minds again. Each alteration erodes the original vision, leaving the director balancing between art and compromise. It is exhausting, maddening, and yet undeniably real — the chaotic heartbeat behind every film.
