The Dreamseller

A schoolboy Karim, who is fond of electronics, unexpectedly finds himself in a fairyland, in the laboratory of the wizard Ogima, who has been looking for a capable student for a long time. Ogima comes up with dreams - sweet and funny, being sure that he is doing good for ordinary people. It turns out that more than two people need to stand in a circle around a magic mirror and hold hands — then everything you dream about will come true. But the ruler makes the last move — she has released all dreams, people can sleep for 100 years.

That Was in Kokand

About the formation of Soviet power in Uzbekistan, the fight against the “Kokand Autonomy” and the Basmachi.

Old Plane Tree

About the family of the old man Achila-Buva, about his children and grandchildren living in an Uzbek village, about an old plane tree covering the saplings with its branches.

Possessed

The Red Army soldier Maksud returns with a detachment of the Red Army to his native village. Maksud sees that nothing has changed in the village — just like in the old days, the bai are rampaging, oppressing the people: bek Rahmankul ordered the hanging of two dehkans who plowed the land that the Soviet government gave them. Obsessed with hatred of the new order, Rahmankul asks Sheikh Abbas to give him the treasures of the mosque to arm his gang.
