1991年8月19日苏联政变，午夜结束了戈尔巴乔夫的政权。这一天，午夜在几千公里之外，哈萨克的首府Alma-Ata（当时尚未独立）有一位名不见经传的33岁导演，正在拍摄他的第一部长片，那时还没有人知道他就是日后被广为讨论的Omirbayev，哈萨克新电影运动的带代表人物。而他的这一部影《卡依哈》也因时际会地成了在电影史上前、后苏联的分水领。卡依哈，一个二十岁的乡下青年，搭上前往Almaty的火车，他想继续升学，但是因为隔壁同学作弊，导致他失去入学考试资格。他继续留在城里，接受驾驶市公交车的训练。直到一天遇到喜欢的女子Indira，她是暑期打工的大学生。本片描绘因为苏联解体，哈萨克必需寻找自己出路的时候，一对身处对未来充满不确定因素的男女，他们伤感与来不及发生的爱情故事。摄影机紧跟着主角在城市中的脚步，他们的情绪、错误与游荡。面对需要步步为营的城市，每个孤寂与惊恐的个体所赖以为生的，只是他们的梦想。

回复 :The setting is Vienna in 1914 before the outbreak of war. The aristocratic and somewhat jaded Prince Nicki, pursued by all the ladies, begins a flirtation with Mitzi, a crippled harpist who works in a suburban wine-garden, and who is in turn idolized by Schani, an uncouth and violently jealous butcher. Their first encounter significantly takes place in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral on Corpus Christi day, with Nicki among the emperor's cavalry regiment. Later, in the refracted light of falling apple blossoms in the wine-garden--scenes of a distilled, ethereal beauty--Nicki gradually wins her faith and love. Meanwhile, amidst the sumptuous and corrupt milieu of the family palace, Nicki is drawn into complicity against his will, as his unscrupulous mother informs him he must marry Cecelia, the daughter of a wealthy commoner, in order to revive the family fortune. Mitzi has a vision of The Iron Man (a symbol of the declining power and position of the Hapsburg dynasty) and falls before the crucifix in fear; but her love remains steadfast, and she protests her faith though abused by her mother and Schani. Infuriated by her rejection, Schani threatens to kill Nicki on his wedding day unless Mitzi agrees to marry him. Following the processional splendor of the cathedral wedding, Schani appears to carry out his threat, but Mitzi arrives in time to stop him; and through the downpouring rain Nicki sadly gazes on his true love in the crowd as he drives away with his bride.
