Nineteen-year-old young man Azat moves from the village to Almaty to work as a bricklayer at a construction site in the brigade of his older brother. But his brother is delayed in the mountains on the construction of another object, and Azat is forced to spend several days alone without housing and money in a big city. One event, in which the young man is a direct participant, will determine his fate.
Azat, is a 19-year-old villager who comes to a big city of Almaty to work as a bricklayer in the construction team of his elder brother Murat. Murat lingers in the mountains on a construction site for 2-3 days and Azat must stay in Almaty with no money until his brother arrives. In the city there will be the "crossroad of fate" which determines how things will unfold in Azat's life.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
