action
The young man Stas and his friends Kasoy, Shin and Said live in Tashkent . Stas, Kasoy and Shin are Korjo-Saram of the third generation, i.e. members of the Korean minority who was deported from the Russian Far East to Central Asia in 1937 under Stalin . Together they try to escape the boring and depressing life in the Uzbek capital. Their environment is shaped by crime and violence. To escape the bleak reality, the four friends also test heroin . One day, Kasoy is murdered by a gang, but the police never solve the case.
Six years later: Shin emigrated to the land of his ancestors and is now studying in South Korea. Said is heavily addicted to heroin and eventually commits suicide through an overdose. Stas has meanwhile become a police officer. He is still trying to solve the murder of his old friend Kasoy, but the police only encounter corruption and displeasure, even when he finally tracks down the killer Kasoy. Through his investigations into the drug scene, Stas has become a drug addict himself.
Stas finally goes through a cold drug withdrawal, quits his job with the police and wants to follow the advice of his friend Shin and also to emigrate to South Korea. It is unclear whether South Korea will be "Hanaan" for him, the land of his desires.
