Life in the Tajik city, everything a neighbor of everything else: a Muslim burial rite, a Soviet May 1st demonstration, women sweeping the floor, a quarrel in a theater about a contemporary set, old men queuing for groceries, young men leaving home for the army, an elderly women coming up to the camera and asking “And why are you filming?” The film, capturing the time, faces, songs, thoughts and hopes of the people, ends with a panorama of peaceful Dushanbe and a song in the background by Boris Grebenshikova.
