Director: Farkhat Sharipov

Kazakhstan, 2020, 1 hour 19 minutes, subtitles 

 

Vibrant, kinetic and powerfully performed with its clever use of dreams and fantasy sequences, this is teenage angst at its most uncompromising; a Kazakh Trainspotting. Life is tough growing up among the dilapidated tower blocks of Almaty, where only a grim future awaits. After a chance discovery in old walkman, Sanzhar and his mate Dzhaga gravitate towards a group of older kids in search of freedom and excitement. Apparently 18kHz is a sound frequency adults cannot hear.
