Synopsis
A stylised portrait of the life of Uzbek Muslims at the start of the twentieth century, just before the changes that the Russian Revolution would bring. Iskander, a small trader, lives happily with his two wives in an Uzbek village. After the death of his brother he gets his wife too, following Muslim tradition. At first he is worried if his idyllic life with his two beloved wives won't be disrupted by this third wife; he is after all obliged to look after all of them well. But everything seems to work out. The problems only start when their lives are overshadowed by the arrival of the Bolsheviks, who start preaching their ideology about the agricultural community. At first Iskander helps them enthusiastically: carried away by the ideas of Communism, he grows to be the leader of his fellow countrymen. But then the new ideology starts having a negative influence on his private life.
