Synopsis: Rooted in the legacy of Soviet-era border-making, Skylark follows Aibek, a teenager, in a Kyrgyz village beside the Tajik border. He navigates the delicate balance between tender domestic life and the heightened tension of living near a border. As tensions reignite, he’s caught between memory, duty, and his mother’s absence. Skylark is a coming-of-age story shaped by partition of land and family.
