"Let us part - while we‘re good," Bagrat says to the peasants who have sheltered him, bleeding, from his pursuers. Let's part before any of you betray me... Love and hatred, meanness and courage, betrayal and self-sacrifice - everything that a romantic, adventurous plot requires (and that is also found in everyday life!).

Based on the novella Peka by S. Georgiyevskaya. For many years, civil engineer Pulat—who left to work on the construction of the city of Navoi—and his wife Lola—who at the time refused to go with him and later became a popular singer—had not seen each other. Their son has grown up. Realizing that the boy needs a father, and still preserving her love for Pulat, Lola travels with her son to Navoi to take part in sponsored concert performances there.

In this heavyhanded political allegory, set in the plains and mountains of Central Asia, a tribe of people led by the fanatical Mavrut (Vladimir Msrian) wanders about in the most desolate parts of this already desolate region in search of a mythical "Land of Happiness." Their quest is hampered by the fact that they must all live a life which is extremely ascetic. One tribeswoman expresses a desire to have a child, but is rebuked by being reminded that she has vowed never to have worldly ties that would distract her from the quest. When she has a child anyway, she and her lover are made to pay for this crime in a horrific way. Despite that, the child becomes a kind of holy mascot for the group, touted by the leader as a kind of savior. They are distressed when the child goes missing one day, only to appear mysteriously on the opposite side of the rapids of a river, beckoning to them.

A high-crime investigator goes to the scene where corruption and crime have taken on new and sophisticated forms in the mountainous southern region of the country.

The kidnappers have all the means at their disposal. They mercilessly kill those who try to stop them from stealing tons of gold...

Three boys and a girl went to the mountains in search of a dinosaur. A lot of "scary things" came across on their way. Eventually, mysterious footprints led them to adult loafers hoping to find treasure at the bottom of the lake.

How people knew how to love and cherish their love.
