Synopsis
Four moral tales, four destinies of teenagers who will burn their wings to find a place and survive in the miserable and violent climate of a small abandoned village of Kazakhstan : Balapan, a victim of bullying who doesn't want to fight; Zharas, whose father is a thief and has to feed his family; Zhaba, who searches for some metal scraps and lusts after a secret treasure guarded by a group of deranged kids; and Aslan, who fears that his medic studies will be compromised by his girlfriend getting pregnant.
