Despite the restoration of Soviet power in the area, Basmachis continue to arrive from across the border, bringing death and destruction to peaceful villages. One of the bands of rebels is led by Khairulla who is pitted against the militsiya (local militia) leader Maxumov. At first it seems hopeless for Maxumov as the rebels capture most of his men, winning them over to his side. He has only one strategy left; to give himself up, and try to explain to the people that Khairulla has deceived them, turning the soldiers back to revolution. Later in pursuit of his enemy, he chases Khairulla across a river. He has only one bullet left -- the seventh, and he must not miss his target!

Seventh-grader Ilham comes on vacation to a mountain village to visit relatives. Seriously, but on the most fundamental issues of life, the boy does not find a common language with the staid, extremely self-respecting Uncle Azim. He meets the sorcerer Hamrakula-buva, who sacredly protects an old tree from death, on which, back in the thirties (the childhood years of his son, who did not return from the war), the children organized the headquarters of the Timur team. Ilham understands the old man well, helps him take care of the tree, bring out a new variety of blue rose, which his son dreamed of growing, and does not consider him a sorcerer at all.…

A biopic of Nadira, outstanding Uzbek poetess and public leader of XIX century, mother of Kokand ruler.

The Cheka officers are conducting an operation to return the gold that the Basmachi plan to exchange for weapons.

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.
