Call of the Desert
1970, RU. Directed by Alty Artykov.
Due to life circumstances, the young protagonists decide to leave their childhood homes, the places they’ve always loved, abandon their familiar way of life, and move to the capital to live and study in a large, unfamiliar city. The brothers find it difficult to adapt in the big, unfriendly city, which makes their life much less simple and familiar than it was at home. The young people seriously question the wisdom of their decision: to dramatically change their lives and completely alter everything that gave their life meaning, or to leave everything unchanged.
