Zhayna travels from Xinjiang to Almaty in search of her missing husband, Yersin, who vanished without a trace when the Kazakhstan-China border closed during the pandemic, and the political winds grew harsh.

A gentle, minimalist elegy on longing and belonging from Kazakh poet, translator and filmmaker Tilek Yrysbek.
