Locarno International Film Festival 2024
25-year-old Merey lives a quiet but happy life in Almaty. By chance, she meets the charming Nurlan, who invites her to a birthday party in the mountains. She expects a simple celebration with new friends, but what ensues is an intense and tumultuous night that quickly spirals into a dark game of cat and mouse.
Olga studied film at the New York Film Academy, took part in the Berlinale Talents Campus, and subsequently obtained an MFA in film directing from the Zhurgenov National Academy of Fine Arts in Kazakhstan. Her first feature film, Bad Bad Winter, had its world premiere at Cannes (2018).
