Chaika is a love story between a prostitute and a loser sailor, reconstructed between two long seasons: the eternal winter of Siberia and summer in the dusty steppes of Kazakhstan. Young Tursyn comes home to face what remains of his family: an old nomad about to die and a shipwrecked father. Both of them will bring back the vague memories that Tursyn has of his mother. Chaika is the adventure of joining those memories left scattered by life in the remotest moors of the earth, almost at the end of the world
