Plot summary
Long Distance Love is a love story, but also a film about the gigantic migration wave into Russia. Alisher, from the city of Osh in Kyrgyzstan, is a young man looking for love in his life but who also longs to survive in a country where people are living under severe pressure ever since the breakdown of the Soviet Union. Alisher marries Dildora on a sweltering summerday, but soon – as almost every other young man in this region – he has to go to Russia and try to find a job. The distance between Osh and Moscow is 3,500 kilometres. A film about love, hope, migration and global injustice.
