We are happy to share with you the movie trailer

The story is based on an ancient Kyrgyz legend about the souls of ancestors living in the form of fish in a sacred lake. This is an existential drama, a parable about the internal conflicts of the heroes, freedom of choice and their own ways, unfolding against the background of the amazing landscapes of the high mountainous Issyk-Kul Lake. The film was produced by “OYMO STUDIO” in co-production with “AityshFilm” with financial support from the Department of Cinematography of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Information of the Kyrgyz Republic. The film will be released starting from December 24
