Heartwarming & Tragic, 29 October 2008
Author: ohnastya

I've recently seen this movie and really liked it (cried in some parts), the story is very touching and depicts the part of history that many people are not aware of, that being the nuclear activity in Kazakhstan and the consequent tragedy of it and of course the suffering of the exiled people and generally the country's difficult path during those years. The movie manages to tell all that through the relationship of the characters and does not focus on the political side making it very interesting. Personally I loved it and would highly recommend especially if you are acquainted in some ways with Kazakhstan.
