Tradition and modernity clash, as do rich and poor backgrounds, in this gem of a movie from Kazakhstan. Two teenage girls fall in love, but while one lives in luxury in a modern villa, the other is from an orphanage for HIV positive children.
Against the backdrop of this blood-transfusion scandal, based on real-life events, they decide on a bold plan: steal a priceless hunting falcon, sell it and start a new life in Paris.
Majestic images, nail biting chase scenes and budding young love.
