Suleiman Mountain in Kyrgyzstan forms the backdrop to the city of Osh, at the crossroads of important routes on the Central Asian Silk Roads. It is said to have healing powers. Charismatic con artist Karabas, his two wives, and a son newly recovered from an orphanage, discover much more than they bargained for as they make their way to the mountain.
In her award-winning feature debut, Elizaveta Stishova laces humor into a unique film that highlights the rugged landscape of Kyrgyzstan, showing a clear-eyed affection for her flawed but deeply human characters.
