The Scent of the Wormwood
2022, Kirghiz. Directed by Aibek Daiyrbekov.
Three teenagers living in a remote village spend their days playing fun. Each of the teenagers in these games forgets about the problems in their family. But adult reality is slowly creeping up on each of them. A reality where dads are fighting with each other for a place in the sun or just getting drunk. And mothers, in pursuit of their fate, sometimes forget about the little ten-year-old happiness left at home. And children who do not know how to pray like birds pray for the happiness of their mother and for the love of their parents.
