HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

A fast-forward metaphor for Kazakhstan’s path to look for a new identity through the image of a middle-aged man Marat who loses his meaning in life after the death of his love. His dissatisfaction with the new society increases and the fear of remaining unnecessary to anyone scares him. Marat tries to find a new sense of life against all societal, economic, and political changes in the country through work and his son’s pride but finds it completely different.
