Aldar Kose is not a name, but a nickname. Aldar means deceiver, Kos - beardless. And what was the name of this man in fact, and whether he lived at all, no one will say for sure. But in every Kazakh village, in every yurt in the mountainous Dzhailau, they talk about Aldar Kos as their good friend. He tells about him in different ways, but everything converges on the fact that he was poor and kind, hated the oppressors of the people, fought against injustice and helped the offended... Like a tumbleweed bush, Aldar Koshe, who was forever wandering through the boundless Kazakh steppes, once met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. But the girl loves another — a brave, honest and kind poor man, herding the herds of a rich man.
