Synopsis

An elderly Uzbek couple continues their timeless way of life: shearing sheep, milking goats, tending to watermelons, and weaving carpets. The old woman never allows anyone to leave their home without a gift, gently caring for her cantankerous husband. His chronically simmering irritability escalates when their two adult sons – one nearby, the other far away – begin replacing household items with unfamiliar, modern ones they struggle to operate. Their latest plan is to demolish and rebuild the family home, regardless of their parents' objections.
