The world Ulbolsyn briefly re-visits is stuck up in the past. Women eat in separate rooms, they are being locked in basements and beaten up in so called purification ceremonies that are supposed to chase the demons away. In other words, some kind of exorcism of free will and behavior that challenges the patriarchy. However, the main hero is full of surprises. When she’s denied help by the police, she calls for her own army of armed professionals, and finally for a different kind of assistance. (Marina Richter)
