Sezim (19) wants to fulfill her dream of studying in the Kyrgyz capital when she gets kidnapped by a group of young men and taken to the hinterland. There, she’s forced to marry a stranger. If she refuses the marriage, she is threatened with social stigmatization and exclusion. Torn between her desire for freedom and the constraints of Kyrgyz culture, Sezim desperately seeks a way out.
ALA KACHUU - Take and Run received over 30 international awards within the last 12 months.

"ALA KACHUU – Take and Run is a film about bride kidnapping. A widespread yet unknown form of forced marriage that victimizes thousands of women. It is my goal to draw attention to the fate of these women. That is why it is important that many people see this film."
