The movie is based on Beimbet Mailin’s stories. The events take place in the 20’s
of the past century. Collectivization is under way in the Soviet country, the traditional Kazakh nomadic tradition is withering away. Everywhere one can see slogans proclaiming the victory of socialism. One of them reads “Liberate the Women of the East!”. In a far-away Kazakh village it was decided to stage a play dealing with the issue. The protagonist of the movie Sarymsak played the female part in it. It is the story of his family which fell victim to “red slogans”.
