Daymohk

Masha Novikova

The film DAYMOHK tells the story of the Chechen star dancer and choreographer Ramzan Achmadov, whose dance group Daymohk has found refuge with the current President of Chechnya, Kadyrov. This has temporarily averted the threat of extinction for this centuries-old folk dance. However, the price for this is high: In his attempt to save the tradition of his country, Ramzan sacrifices what he loves most to the authorities.
