Following the critical success of his movie about the harshness of Kazakh life The Fierce One, director Tolomush Okeyev helmed The Red Apple, which chronicles several days in the life of a Kirghizian family. In the story, an artist imagines a feminine figure with such intensity that his relationship with that figure threatens his marriage. The level-headed actions of his daughter help him to harmonize the two realities.
