Abstract
Familiar yet invisible people, around 2.5 million migrants have left their homes in Central Asia to try their luck in Moscow. Most of them eke out a living doing precarious jobs. In Ayka — a feature film which won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018 — Russian- Kazakh writer-director Sergey Dvortsevoy and Kazakh actress Samal Yeslyamova explore the fate of those who are willing to sacrifice everything in the hope of a better life.
