Two kids once argued about whether it was possible to play out a book plot in life - they almost quarreled. Sixteen-year-old Erkin solved their dispute. He organized a fun game of Moydodyr, where everyone had a place and a role. This children's game is the plot of a cute and funny movie.
Considering that Musakov’s Abdulladzhan (1991) was dedicated to Steven Spielberg, we might suggest that these four boys embody nothing more complicated than a conflict of youthful innocence with some ominous threat—the basic workings of E.T. (1982) or War of the Worlds (2005), say. That threat, however, is best understood not through vague nationalism or warmed-over socialism, but through the other reference-point of Abdulladzhan—Tarkovskii’s Stalker (1980). Musakov leaves his boys in a simplified radiance so bright and so overexposed that it no longer looks like the skies of sunny Tashkent, but a disturbing, borderless luminosity to match the flat tonal range of Stalker’s “Zone.” Our Uzbek boys are nowhere in particular; this is a broader domain than anything international.
The main events of this film correspond to the autumn and winter months of 1952-1953. The heroes of the film are two fighters who serve at the highest levels of the State Security Ministry and become friends. "Churgoschin" was the nickname of one of them. This film talks about the situation in Uzbekistan on the eve of I.V. Stalin's death. One of the two warriors prefers death because he doesn't want harm to his brother.
Directed by Zulfikar Musakov.
