Synopsis
Above the Mountains (1988), a drama by Bolat Omarov, is available to watch online on iFILM. The forester Abdrakhman Begimbetov has spent his whole life on the mountain slopes — clearing stone, raising fir groves and apple orchards on ground that once held nothing.
Fate gave him little quarter. The arrests that swept the late thirties, the years the country spent at war, four children born and four buried — every blow seemed to test whether he would break. Yet Abdrakhman kept going back to his trees, holding to one stubborn belief: that a forest grown by his own hands would, in time, outlast human cruelty. This is unhurried Kazakh cinema with no grand speeches, where the hero barely raises his voice and the mountains and orchards speak for him. Kargynbai Satayev plays the forester.
