Yelzhas

In Northern Kazakhstan, a unique mining plant, known as the GOK, has become a prime target for foreign investors. However, the law prohibits the full transfer of state enterprises to foreigners. This doesn't deter a corrupt oligarch with controlling interest in GOK from illegally planning to sell it to a Chinese investor. Local authorities turn a blind eye as they've long been bought by the oligarch. But the plant's director opposes this savage deal, knowing that if it goes through, 300 workers will lose their jobs and livelihood. Yet, fighting corruption could prove deadly for him.

Young Zere lives in a tiny fishing village on the coast of Balkhash. Tragedy recently struck her family when their father Kadyr drowned with a boat he borrowed from local vagabond Makosh. Makosh demands compensation, but Zere's mother lacks the funds. Their family teeters on the brink of destitution. Desperate to secure a future for her daughter, Zere's mother plans to marry her off to a wealthy but old man. Zere, however, vehemently opposes this, refusing to be sold like cattle. Moreover, her heart belongs to a local boy, and the feeling is mutual. But it seems that no one cares about Zere's opinion.
