Plot
Each of the main cast has now chosen their own path in life. Alen and Maqpal have succeeded in IT, Baqdäulet opened a hostel in the foothills, and Erkoş took up mixed martial arts. Jomart suffers from a midlife crisis, as no hobby or work satisfies him. Because of this, the cast makes him a surprise, invites him to the aul, and presents Jomart a statue of himself. Angered by this, he travels to Brazil, where there are the least Kazakhs in the world. He is, however, mistaken for a rich Chinese man and kidnapped in the airport.
Release
