Birzhan

Ruthless gangster Talgat Kylyi steals a large sum of money from a powerful businessman and, escaping pursuit, pretends to be Major Pshembay of the police. Unexpectedly, he finds himself as the head of a police station in the provincial town of Bes-Qonyr. The locals believe he’s a real officer — some respect him, some fall in love with him, and others remain suspicious. The newly minted «major» isn’t in a hurry to leave: he begins to enjoy living by the law — though on his own terms. While solving petty crimes with big-time criminal methods, Kylyi faces his biggest challenge yet — the return of the real Pshembay and his own troubled past, which refuses to let him go.

Sherkhan and Kazanbas are two inseparable friends with no jobs, no prospects. They earn their living through petty crime and blow their money in the local bar. One day, fortune smiles upon them as two stunning beauties take notice of them and invite them over. However, instead of the girls, two hulking men suddenly appear, forcibly taking them to a semi-abandoned house in the middle of the steppe. As they brace for the worst, they are surprisingly tasked with a harmless task: making dumplings. Despite several escape attempts, they are caught and their 'manufacturing' sentence is extended. Kazanbas gradually becomes engrossed in the business, even offering the boss valuable sales tips. Sherkhan, however, remains desperate for freedom. Tension builds between the friends, and the promised release date never seems to come.
