Plot synopsis
A closer look at the private life of the famous Kazakh singer, former soloist of the first female instrumental vocal ensemble of the USSR "Aigul". The heroine's name is Karlygach, translated into Russian as "Lastochka (The Swallow)". The fate of this woman is accompanied by constant luck and success and resembles the swift flight and serene singing of a small bird in the sky. But this is only at first glance. A deep drama where personal pain is connected with the complicated history of her family and the Kazakh people often motivates the actions of this bright and exceptionally gifted woman. And at one of the critical moments of her life she will have to remain silent... After a long and harsh winter, will the Swallow sing again?
