About

Loveable rogues Kahhor and Mannon are now grandfathers and have been the best of friends most of their lives. Occasionally thieving to make ends meet, they work in the local factory, play joyous music together and spend time with family. Their simple but sweet life is complicated when a contentious lottery ticket upends this delicate equilibrium. Long forgotten yearnings to become a professional musician and the sacrifices that were necessary to exist under Soviet rule bubble to the surface when the significant winnings of the lottery come into their lives. A brilliantly acted and warmly engaging look at Tajikistan’s emergence out of Soviet rule and the essential bonds between family and friends.
