Hug Me, Mum

Directed by Nurgissa Almurat

With Gulzhamal Mukazhankyzy, Maksat Rakhmet, Zarina Karmen, Nuray Zhetkergen and Abilmansur Serikov

Zhalgas's life seems to have it all—success, family, comfort—but he lacks peace of mind. Shadows of the past and hidden secrets haunt him every minute. He blames his mother, Mayrash, for his childhood dreams and all the family's misfortunes. One day, after a fight between his mother and his daughter-in-law, when a scandal erupts in the house, Zhalgas decides, on the eve of his mother's anniversary, to personally drive her to the village to talk things out and sort things out along the way.
