Plot
  • Tagline: In fights without rules, there is no rule that says: "Until first blood!"

Fifteen-year-old Mustafa (Olzhas Nusupbayev) — nicknamed "Shiza" for his weird behaviour in school — has no money, power or a girlfriend in his young life. Working for his mother's boyfriend, Shiza scouts for fighters for the illegal, underground circuit of bare-knuckle fist-fighting.

However, his life changes forever when a young fighter is accidentally and mortally wounded in the ring. Before dying, the fighter asks Shiza to deliver his prize money to his wife Zinka (Olga Landina). Shiza takes the money to the now-widowed woman as promised. Upon meeting, Shiza falls in love with her. Suddenly, he finds direction as he is compelled to support and protect his new love no matter what the cost.

gollark: This is cool, I have apparently been randomly picked for a COVID-19 testing study.
gollark: I don't really like old games, and I generally had a lot of free time *anyway*.
gollark: Mostly fine. It's better than school, at least. It would be nice if I could actually try some new activities or something though, since that stuff seems to mostly be shut down.
gollark: I am hoping that whoever is behind that won't decide to try something like this again, but I bet *someone* will think "ah yes, this is a great idea, we'll just lie because it's mildly more convenient, that can't go wrong in the long term".
gollark: ... yes, that.
