Shimkent Hotel
Synopsis
As they begin treatment, the patient slowly recounts his story - a tale involving industrial intrigue, cultural incomprehension, a get-rich-quick scheme which goes horribly wrong, and a desperate flight for survival across the Pakastini border.
Shot on analogue video, with superb desolate landscapes and settings. Utterly gripping and very, very strange indeed.
