What happens

Bride Sabina (Russian: Келинка Сабина, Kelinka Sabina) is a 2014 Kazakh comedy film directed and written by Nurtas Adambay. It stars Nurtas Adambay, who plays the eponymous main character, in travesti. The film follows Almaty native Sabina Qarsybaeva, who's kidnapped and forcibly wed to charlatan Janibek, and is therefore forced to get used to rural life. An experimental movie, which was written, produced and led by comedian and actor Nurtas Adambay, it was exceptionally successful among Kazakh audiences. The success of the movie earned it two sequels: Bride Sabina 2 and Bride Sabina 3. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
