The Late Wind is a wonderful romantic drama that you can only watch on Cineshort. Our protagonist is a woman expecting a baby from the man she loves. The man she loves, however, leaves for unclear reasons. Our protagonist has to think about both her baby that will be born and her struggle in life. Overdue rents to be paid, the difficulties of work life, plus waiting for news from the man she loves, calling him and not knowing where to find him is destroying the woman. There's only one thing that adorns her dreams: a proper home where she will live together with the man she loves. She has no other expectations. Financial hardship is at its peak. In fact, the protesters' slogan actually reflects the woman's struggle perfectly - they say "We will fight." Life is very hard for everyone. Society imposes certain roles on both women and men. Sometimes these imposed social roles can even feel heavy and create a desire to escape. But no matter what, not running away but fighting, at least not leaving the person next to you with question marks is important, I think. Will she finally get what she's waiting for? The answer to the question is in our film. I found the film quite successful and liked it very much. Recently, Kazakh films have been rising with a certain momentum, making their name known and producing very beautiful short films. This is also a wonderful situation on an industry basis. I definitely recommend the film to everyone. Enjoy watching!
