Two brothers. Two worlds. Akzhol and Dalen have the same father but don’t know him nor each other. Akzhol has just been released from the orphanage and moved into a public housing apartment where he meets his neighbour Dimash. Immediately he becomes his partner in many robberies and burglaries. Dalen on the other hand lives with well-off adoptive parents, plays the violin and is torn between fear and fascination when his brother tracks him down. Suddenly Dalen finds himself in a world of violence and unvarnished truths that pulls him deeper and deeper into an all-devouring vortex. But when the two brothers decide zu set out to find their long-lost father, they embark on a journey that will bring things to light that neither of them could have expected.
