Synopsis

In the gripping and haunting thriller About Mannequin, a young family's ordinary day takes a dark turn when they stumble upon a peculiar bridal shop. Beautiful and vibrant wife and mother, Aya (played by Ayanat Yesmagambetova), is drawn to a stunning but cursed wedding dress that sets off a chain of tragic events. As the family's patriarch, Salim (played by Sanjar Madi), grows increasingly suspicious of the enigmatic shop owner, Armand (played by Armand Boranbayev), Aya's fascination with the dress deepens. However, the dress's malevolent influence proves to be deadly, leading the family into a spiral of events that test their bonds and reality itself. Mannequin is a harrowing exploration of fate, loss, and the chilling power of the unknown, blurring the lines between dreams and nightmares.
