META Film Fest: Poet

The story about the Poet devoted his life to wooing the Muse and looking for the reason for living. The ability to sympathize with, feel with, do good, show mercy was the prior criterion for the poet in assessment of the people and the leading idea of his entire writing. The main character is the Almaty poet of about forty years old working as an editor in the small Kazakh newspaper. He and his colleagues understand that their writing is less and less popular in the up-to-date, rational society, that the time of mass interest in the literature, books, and poetry become the thing of the past over time. This is of course a great private tragedy for these modest writers.
