Official Oscar Entry from Kazakhstan 2013

From the director of “KELIN” Ermek Tursunov:

Hemingway’s “Old Man and the Sea” is reset in the severe winter steppes of Kazakhstan where merciless wolves are awaiting their prey.
How far can an old man go, lost in a snowstorm and faced with ferocious beasts, in order to protect his beloved sheep and his own life?
