Country: Kazakhstan
Director: Emir Baigazin
Cast: Timur Aidarbekov, Aslan Anarbayev & Mukhtar Andassov.
Aslan is a 13-year old boy who lives with his grandmother in a farmhouse. At school, he’s picked on by school bully Bolat, the leader of a group that control's the classrooms. Due to a humiliation incident, Aslan is looking for revenge.
The opening scene of the movie shows Aslan is playing with a sheep and it's kind of a pleasant situation to start off. With a fraction of seconds the tone of the movie changes, that's the way it is designed by the director, Emir Baigazin and In simple words never know what happens next. The narrative shuffles like a pendulum and Baigazin interestingly develop Aslan's character. The third act also opens up some questions with that dream sequence and violence is an integral part of the Kazakhs. The school can be referred to as a microcosm and each shot seemingly contains some underlying symbolism which is not that easy to decode. Overall, Harmony Lessons is not an easy watch, yet the movie demands to see it.
