Malyshka is the story of a lonely former IT worker who travels to Kazakhstan for a criminal arrangement and drifts through Almaty with a strange mixture of numbness, curiosity, shame, and longing. Between a turbulent flight, taxi drivers, hotel rooms, money changers, and meetings with a local middleman, he keeps mistaking brief moments of courtesy for connection. It is a dark, dryly funny story about alienation, crime, cultural displacement, and the quiet desire to belong somewhere.
