The modern accessories of life, such as mobile phones, cars, and satellite dishes notwithstanding, the lifestyle here remains essentially traditional, with the decision of the "elder" - local mob leader - controlling any action that is taken in the community. The story line evolves around the relationship of two brothers: Kanat and Aman. Kanat is a quintessential "new Kazakh", flat broke and disenchanted, who comes back to the village with his pregnant Russian wife. The elder brother Aman has lived in the village all his life, built a house, settled down but never married. "Aksuat" marks the breaking point in the development of Kazakh cinema in the era following the collapse of the USSR and the attainment of independence. The fates of the two brothers are the metaphors of the possible nation-building. The ones who leave lose their roots and moral values embedded in the traditional background. Those who stay in the countryside live a hard life in a corrupt, unjust society. But for all the hardships, the protagonists remain on their mothers' land. Thus, Aman's is the punch line of the film: "This is my house, my matches." The premier of the film in Kazakhstan went unnoticed. Later it received a Special Jury prize at IFF "Eurasia - 98"; prize of the Jury at the "Festival of Three Continents" in Nantes - 99, etc. 655 4 Fiction films 260 Kazakhstan : |bEast Cinema, |c1997. 041 ruskaz |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990456FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0617_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9145725FL |bFL |d2019-02-14 |l0 |oFL Record 0617 |pHU_OSA_00002349.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-14 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 0X52xpYx 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002349 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
