...that Pete can stand being with her and the kids all the time. He gives bogus excuses and sneaks out at night, not to have an affair, as his wife suspects, but to take part in a fantasy baseball draft - which outrages her more. You're cheating on me to get freaking companionship? she asks. Am I not enough? The movie's answer: No, you are not; no one person is. Nobody can be everything to anybody...

Aliyev slowly rose in the government until the fall of 2001, when his alleged collusion with top officials against Nazarbayev lead to a political crisis. Some Kazakh political sources say that only Dariga's intervention saved Aliyev from the wrath of an enraged Nazarbayev, who then exiled Aliyev to Vienna as ambassador.
