You were standing on the shore (2026)
A gentle, minimalist elegy on longing and belonging shot in dreamy Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Zhayna travels from Xinjiang to Almaty in search of her missing husband, Yersin, who vanished without a trace when the Kazakhstan-China border closed during the pandemic, and the political winds grew harsh. Reuniting with old companions, she meanders through memories of youth, love, and the shifting world they left behind. – Ivan Ramljak
