2013 · 129 min · Comedy, Drama

The film’s protagonist, Karamat, differs from many others in that he feels as if he is traveling the Silk Road through the ups and downs of life. In his own words, he claims to have “great respect.” True, his debts are greater than his honor — he has quite a lot of them. Although he always wants to live with honesty, he eventually faces injustice. If Karamat is truly Karamat, this cannot go on! At one moment, he makes a firm decision to change everything in his favor, fueled by the desire to turn his fate around — and that’s where it all begins.
