Kyz-Zhibek - Kazakh poetic folk legend of the 16th century, tells about the period in the Kazakh nation when the people suffered from bloody feuds. In those times each province of the Kazakh nation had its own Khan and each tried to supersede the other. The love story of Tolegen, the brave warrior, and the beauty Zhibek ends tragically because of inter-family strife. Tolegen is foully murdered by Bekejan (the batyr, or nobleman, of the rival family), who earlier strived for the hand of Zhibek. Zhibek commits suicide after learning about the death of Tolegen.

A blind old man lives in a lost way station. He intuitively determines the condition of the railway tracks, which are monitored by his son. Every month, a track meter equipped with state-of-the-art technology passes through the stop, but its readings differ from what the old man feels about the road. The son finds himself in a dilemma: which to trust more — his father's intuition or the indications of the computer? After all, the lives of hundreds of passengers depend on the right decision.
