On a cloudy day a group of passengers set out on a journey to their village. This trip will test their morals, faith, and spirit, while they will try to navigate on a misty road.

Based on a story from Talip Ibraimov’s collection „The Old man and the Angel“. Angels can be heralds of positive or negative messages. „Night Accident“ has two main characters: the old man (Akolbek Abdõkalõkov) and the girl (Dina Jakob). The old man is alone, humiliated and despised. He is on his way to kill the man, who broke up his family and destroyed his life, but has an accident – he hits a girl. The old man takes her home and starts to treat her wounds.

Loan sharks harass Damir and his family, even to the point of writing “home for sale” on the exterior of their house. Damir desperately tries to borrow money from his relatives, friends, and anyone else he knows; Cholpon also struggles to prevent the worst from happening.
