A Bolshevik army officer and Uzbek who has been nursed back to health by a young Uzbek woman to whom he is now married, gains responsibility for the local village in 1929. He is urged by comrades in Tashkent to have the local women drop their chadors and veils but he is also told that he should not force this on anyone. His wife declines to take off her veil, so a 14 year old girl steps forward to set the example, over the objections of the local Muslim clergy and most of the village men. After the girl is killed, and the commissar is shot, his wife takes him to the hills to nurse him back to health once again. She begs her husband to leave the village. Instead when he decides to return, she is pressured by her father to continue to wear the veil.

Man Follows Birds is a coming-of-age story of a young Uzbek poet surrounded by violence. Farouk is fascinated by trees and Khamraev films him with a lot of melancholy and tenderness. Cast apart because he’s poor and his father’s drunk, Farouk is not happy in his village. When his father dies, he decides to go in the mountains with his best friends. Looking for nature at its purest, the two teenage boys have to deal with the cruelty of violent barbarians. Their trip will also make them meet a lost orphan girl and a wise beggar.

Звезда Улугбека

Shukur Burkhanov, Ulmas Alikhodzhayev
О жизни просветителя, ученого, основателя обсерватории — султана Мухаммеда Тарагая Улугбека (1394—1449), правителя Самарканда. Улугбек был любимым внуком Тимура, но вырос непохожим на деда, жестокого завоевателя. Ночью он изучал звезды, составлял таблицы движения небесных тел, а утром надевал чалму султана. Улугбеку пришлось бороться с реакционными силами в тогдашней Средней Азии, особенно с духовенством, противившемся всем его прогрессивным начинаниям.
