In Almaty, a cash-strapped couple hatch a plan to solve
their money troubles, but soon become embroiled in a
toxic web of social media, violent criminality and
spiralling greed. This exhilarating, take-no-prisoners
horror offers a blood-soaked satire on the indignities oflate- stage capitalism.
“New day - new opportunity!” Despite their daily
affirmations and commitment to the grindset, Azamat
(Ayan Utepbergen) and Tansholpan (Dilnaz Kurmangali)
are completely broke. When their debts are violently
called in, the ambitious couple hatch a plan to make
quick money. With the help of a crooked lab assistant,
the couple fake a terminal illness, start a crowdfunder
for ‘life-saving’ treatment and swiftly go viral. Their
rapid ascent to fame and fortune at first seems like a
dream come true, but soon their celebrity attracts
attention from Almaty’s criminal underworld, and their
scheme spins dangerously out of control.
