Zheztyrnak

2024 100 min Kazakh

Legends spoke for centuries about the Zheztyrnaks — mythical creatures with long claws, inhuman strength, and a thirst for human blood. No one believes in them anymore... but they still live among us." Miras is an ordinary guy from Almaty who unexpectedly catches the eye of Aina — a beautiful, successful woman from a wealthy family. His parents are overjoyed with their son’s fortunate match and can’t wait to connect with Aina’s influential relatives. But behind the doors of their luxurious mansion, secrets are waiting — secrets that could shatter everything Miras thought he knew about love, family, and the creatures of legend.
