Amidst the plains of the Kazakhstan steppes lives a mother and Eldon, the youngest of her five grown-up children. Whilst his four siblings have all married and left home, he and his mother live a simple, traditional existence. However when Eldon announces he has met the love of his life, his mother embarks on a tour of her four other children’s homes in search of money for the wedding. As we follow the lovable but demanding mum through the four very different lives, we get a heart-warming family comedy that brilliantly contrasts modern-day and traditional life in Kazakhstan with humour and insight.
