Nazim Nadirov was born into a family of exiled Kurds and Karachays in South Kazakhstan. Where the plain merges with the sky and rests on the horizon, where empires arose and perished, where thousands of nomadic tribes passed. Crossroad Man. An ascetic and a dervish who learned the price of simple things early, a sage and philosopher who greedily absorbed biblical truths. For him, ancestral roots and the connection of generations are options with an “important” sticker. And he is one of those who knows for sure that there is something that reconciles the past with the present.

A film about the festival of amateur theaters "Siberian ramp on Olkhon". The magical atmosphere of the theater is harmoniously combined here with the mysterious halo of the Baikal island. The surrounding nature is used here instead of scenery. The banks serve as a natural amphitheatre, and the audience sits on the rocks instead of theatrical chairs. The fate of this temple is now in question. This film may turn out to be the "last shot" of a passing era, but the authors hope that it will help the festival survive and ignite many more caring hearts.
