My Cyberwife
A movie about a woman with a strong but artificial heart. Her heart is made of microelectronics wrapped in a plastic case, which she has been carrying for 6 years in a small bag. To frequent questions from strangers about her bag, she jokingly replies that she carries dollars. Her friend, caring for her, asks her not to go to the market because the bag could be ripped out, causing her body’s circulation to stop suddenly. Her husband lovingly calls her “my Cyberwife”, cheering her up, and her children, worriedly waiting for fate to give their mom a new, real heart. The heroine, as is typical for a Kazakh daughter-in-law, has a lot of strength and spirit. Adapted to a portable heart, she lives a productive life, taking care of her family. The narration of several seasons of the heroine’s life in 22 minutes shows her constancy in her beliefs and hope for the near future.
