Prokopy, a 27‑year‑old man with development challenges, lives with his strict mother, Maria, who keeps him locked away for his own “safety.” In a remote Yakut village, life goes on as usual until the cheerful Aiyyna, Prokopy’s sister, arrives in the neighborhood. She gives him warmth, attention, and a sense of “normality”; a simple, pure friendship appears between them, which becomes a revelation for the young man. Aiyyna takes him out of the locked room, brings him on a sleigh to a festival, and for the first time makes him feel a part of the outside world. But the closer Prokopiy gets to freedom, the more often he conflicts with his mother, who is afraid of losing control and not being able to protect her son from the pain that society might inflict on him.

World-renowned writer Chingiz Aitmatov is putting the finishing touches on his novel The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years. During a trip to Europe, he is offered creative freedom and global acclaim—at the price of renouncing his homeland. The journey becomes a profound re-examination of his own life: memories of his father’s tragic fate, his childhood, his family, and his past lead Aitmatov to a pivotal choice. Realizing that a person without memory becomes a mankurt—a mindless slave—he rejects the temptation to emigrate and writes a book that will become a symbol of national memory and human dignity.
