25-year-old Merey lives a quiet but happy life in Almaty. By chance, she meets the charming Nurlan, who invites her to a birthday party in the mountains. She expects a simple celebration with new friends, but what ensues is an intense and tumultuous night that quickly spirals into a dark game of cat and mouse.
The trials Merey faces reflect the pervasive social Darwinism in our society, where the mantra of "survival of the fittest" often dominates our interactions. Through Merey’s journey, I aim to explore an alternative path.
