Spark

Director: Aqtolgai Rakhmatulla

Akan, the elderly son of Sapargul and Mukash, is a talented singer whose life is marked by hardship. After his father is killed in a fight, he is forbidden from playing the dombyra or performing at celebrations. His mother’s fear of death prevents him from pursuing his musical passion, and he is kept from school. Akan faces the painful process of separation from his mother, forcing him to rediscover his creative spark for music, overcoming fear and loss to reclaim his true calling.
