Story

Mihram is a black market merchant in a Turkish village. When he is offered a job involving the illegal acquisition of expensive medicine, he senses a great opportunity. With luck he can build up the business he has been dreaming of. But luck is not predictable … Once again Ben Hopkins is working with amateur actors in this Kazakh/Turkish/German/British co-production. A modern tale of money, trade, mafia and the morally complex world of the international black market.
