Phantoms trapped in stone
78 mins
The journey of sculptor Akzholtoy begins with a somber telegram: Esengeldi, a close family friend, has passed away. Returning to his village with his mother to honor the memory of Esengeldi, Akzholtoy finds himself enveloped by the echoes of his own distant childhood.
