Student

Directed by Darezhan Omirbayev

With Nurlan Baitasov, Maya Serikbayeva, Edige Bolysbayev, Daniyar Bazarkulov and Baygaly Bekarys

Spurred by his own postmodern musings and the growing inequality, corruption, and kill-or-be-killed ethic of post-Soviet Kazakhstan, a solitary philosophy student steers his directionless life toward the commission of a violent crime, which leads to growing guilt.
