No Kazakhstan movies have been screened at a Berlin Film Festival before,” the filmmaker said. When asked what the main idea of the movie was, Tursunov answered: “Shooting a movies with a talent is one thing, but watching also takes talent. This is a mutual process. It is important for me that every viewer finds something relevant to his or her own life in this movie. "With this movie I want to pay tribute to our fathers, to the previous generation. I wanted to give them a bow and say farewell. This generation is leaving now. They are our fathers, who had a tough luck with the epoch they lived in. (…) It is important for me that this film is watched, especially here in Kazakhstan. I hope that it would move someone to give a call to their fathers,” Tursunov said.

Tursunov said that his first movie Kelin stood for the past, the second one - Shal - showed the present and the third one would be called Kenzhe (“younger brother in Kazakh) and will represent the future. “Also, figuratively speaking , Kelin is mountains, Shall is steppes and Kenzhe is a city. I will follow my nation’s evolution during this time interval. (…) Kenzhe will feature a nowadays story showing what we have achieved,” Tursunov said. The new movie will be shot in Kazakhstan, Spain and Thailand. The shooting will start in February, 2013. Casting for the film is being completed and most of actors have already been selected.
