At the film, the audience was presented the work of Kazakh producer Akan Sataev - Uly dala tany/Dawn of the great steppe.
The events take place in the historical era when Kasym Khan was at the head of the Khanate. It was during these years that the state reached its heyday and established control over the vast territories of Eastern Desht-i-Kipchak. Then the Kazakhs became known as an independent ethnic community far beyond their territory. The plot of the film is rapidly developing in the struggle of the Kazakh and Sheiban rulers for the cities on the Syr Darya at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries.
Opening the show, Kazakh diplomats greeted the Swedish audience, noting: «Cultural cooperation is certainly the key to expanding cooperation between countries in all spheres. Today's event gives Swedish film lovers a great opportunity to learn about Kazakh culture, our history and traditions. Thus, by holding the Days of Kazakh Cinema, we strive to bring the Kazakh and Swedish peoples closer together»
