Drama 2025

Director: Aktan Arym Kubat

“Black, Red, Yellow” is a feature film about three intertwined destinies, centered on a love between two ordinary villagers — a love that endures and uplifts. The film explores moral responsibility within the family and the need to cherish and respect one another. At its heart is Turdugul, a weaver whose carpets reflect the lives of those they are made for. In her hands, carpets become mirrors of their owners’ fates: one black, one red, one yellow. These colors symbolize human nature — black as calm and grounded, red as fiery and intense, yellow as nostalgic and melancholic. Though Turdugul is the village’s only weaver, each carpet is unique, shaped by the soul it represents. Through her craft, the film reveals the depth of everyday life, the emotional power of tradition, and how personality and destiny are woven into every thread.
