The main hero of the film is an electrician with a far greater effect on the people around him than his job defines. He is the last link in a huge energetic system and he becomes the binding bridge between the geopolitical problems of post-soviet space and the common people.
Reflecting on both change and corruption in Kyrgyz society, this acclaimed allegorical tragicomedy stars writer-director Aktan Abdykalykov as Svet-Ake, a small-town hero striving to improve the lives of his neighbors. Subtle and sensitive, The Light Thief is a gem of socially-conscious cinema.
