Bolat

Didar, an unrecognized poet working in a small Kazakh newspaper, feels his creativity is unappreciated in the modern world. Inspired by the life of poet Mahambet Utemisov, who fought for his art in the 19th century, Didar decides to perform at a literary evening in a small town. He realizes that his poetry is as overlooked by his contemporaries as Utemisov's verses were by the authorities in the past. The deeper Didar delves into his reflections, the harder it becomes for him to believe that the art of words can find resonance in this world. Can his verses overcome the barriers of time and find their listener?
