Synopsis:
The form of Sufism present in Kazakhstan was originally born through the contact between lslam and the local Central-Asian traditions, most notably shamanism. Bifatima is widely considered as the last practicing dervish in Kazakhstan, a guardian of this old line of Sufi tradition. The film shows her performing rituals in which ancient shamanistic practices merge with religious beliefs.
