People all over the world share simple dreams: to own a house, to have a good job, to get married and to have children. But for some people those dreams are harder to reach. A “Gostarbeiter” is an immigrant worker and “Ponaekhali” (“Too many coming”) is the slogan welcoming them when they reach Moscow after their long train trip from Kyrgyzstan. This film was made as part of the “Cinetrain” project. —Vilnius International Film Festival
