Bad Bad Winter

Kazakhstan, 84 min, 2018

A daughter of an Astana businessman, Dinara, comes to the city of her childhood to sell her grandmother’s house. Suddenly, former classmates come to visit her, and a friendly meeting grows into something else when they tell her that recently they committed a murder and now they need money to ‘get clean.’ Dinara’s refusal
provokes classmates to act more harshly and tougher and very soon
they arrive from being former classmates to being just a group of
people from different social strata. Between them, there is a conflict based on differences of view, worldviews and way of life.
Each side has its truth, but the whole situation, in the end, leads to another crime – crueler than that from which it all began.
