Mergen
In the fictional, decaying post-Soviet town of Mergen, nestled in the Tian Shan mountains, the only means of survival are illegal gold mining and poaching. Young investigator Nurtai probes the suspicious death of a local hunter, leading him to Kerim — a ruthless poacher kingpin. Haunted by visions of a young girl, Nurtai must confront his traumatic past and race against time to expose a deadly conspiracy before all evidence is erased. A slow-burn mystical thriller rooted in Kyrgyz legend, exploring humanity's predatory relationship with the natural world.
