Stepan Guslyakov's Harem

This picture of Alisher Khamdamov is constructed as a legend of Bakhshi, who pulls his endless song about the brave defender of all the disadvantaged Namaz, thereby brightening up the halt of Russian officers who are serving a dull service in the Turkestan region.

A fairy tale about a magical stork who punished a rich man for greed and thanked the boy for his kindness.

...Pre-revolutionary Turkestan. The hardships and deprivations endured by the laborers — Turab and his wife — whose lives passed in joyless and oppressive toil.

Instead of a pleasant getaway in a rented country house, four women — a grandmother, a mother, a 15-year-old granddaughter, and an elderly housekeeper — are faced with a night full of doubts and suspicions after suddenly discovering the body of a man in one of the rooms on the ground floor. Is it a corpse or not? That’s the question! And will one of them have to take the blame for something none of them actually did? The closer it gets to morning, the more unexpected the twist — almost like in one of those foreign detective films they watched on TV the night before.
