《阳光灿烂的日子》哈萨克斯坦新浪潮篇？ 　　While he is operating on a patient for a brain tumour, a surgeon notices a „20“ tattooed on the patient’s hand. He recognizes his patient as his childhood neighbour, and this reminds him of their life in Alma-Ata in the fifties, as they lived in the same building at number 20. Then they grew in a period of ending Stalinism, among adults who were both coward and brave. He starts dreaming of the balcony, which was their refuge… 　　Kalykbek Salykov was born in 1952 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
