DOS-MUKASAN

KAZ, 2023, 123 Min

Musical fireworks full of intrigue. A Kazakh folkloric pop band is conquering Europe, but they are a thorn in the side of officials in Moscow. Soon the band members begin to disagree about what is worth living for. 

The wild 60s are in full swing. Born from the traditional music of Kazakhstan, Dos-Mukasan becomes the rising star with elements of pop. But this doesn't just make them friends, both at home and with the Soviet leadership. For some it's too much tradition, for others it's not enough. In between, the band tries to go their own way despite concert bans and reprisals and at the same time the individual band members start to ponder what the best path for their own future could be. Full of bright colors and captivating music, Aidan Sakhaman stages a band biopic about one of the most successful Kazakh bands of all time and gives a deep insight into the Kazakh zeitgeist of the time.
