Johan

Original title: Джохан

Directed by Anvar Matzhanov

Johan — a poor actor and father of a family — carries his modest earnings not home, but on bets. He had two dreams — to become a movie star and hit a big jackpot. Neither one nor the other has come true yet. One day, Johan puts too much on the line and loses with disastrous consequences. Up to his ears in debt, he makes a deal with bandits looking for a cache of stolen gold.
