The film will be followed by a panel discussion titled "History as Interpreted by Post-Societ Film Directors"

About movie:

Kazakhstan, 1949. A military train full of ethnic minorities, forced to live in exile under Stalin’s regime, hauls through the endless steppe. Among the passengers is a Jewish boy, Sasha, whose grandfather dies on the journey. It seems death is imminent for Sasha as well, but he is saved by Kasym, a Kazakh railroad worker. A small aul, where a lot of Russian and Polish exiles live, becomes a place of refuge for Sasha, who now goes by the name Sabyr. While the first nuclear bomb is about to be tested at a nearby firing ground in celebration of Stalin’s 70th birthday, the little boy is also planning a surprise for the “Father of Nations.” The film is based on the memories of writer David Markish, who portrays the elderly Sasha-Sabyr in the film. The world premiere of the film took place at the opening of the International Film festival in Pusan (South Korea).
