The main character of the film, 11-year-old Talgat, lives on the outskirts of Alma-Ata in a dysfunctional family that consists of alcoholic parents, six-year-old sister Guli and mentally ill uncle Nurik.

For the entirety of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marion remains in full control of both her body and her personality, a rarity for female characters at the time of the film’s release.
