Premiere
Thirteen-year-old Aslan lives with his grand-mother in a small rural village in Kazakhstan. He is a hardworking good student in sciences, but lacks self-confidence and does not feel comfortable in a neat, clean environment and under control, in a school governed by violence, cruel jokes and bullying. During a medical check-up he is humiliated by his classmates led by Bolat, the brute of the school. While the bullying turns into harassment (the head of local racketeers forbids all school boys to be in touch with him), he also seems to develop a strange behavior, in particular with animals. A newcomer, for his part, refusing to be the victim of extortion is beaten up…Aslan methodically prepares a ferocious implacable revenge.
