About

Loveable rogues Kahhor and Mannon are now in their grandfather years 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 under an oppressive regime bubble to the surface when the significant winnings of the lottery might be a possibility. A brilliantly acted and warmly engaging look at Tajikistan’s journey out of Soviet rule and the essential bonds between family and friends.
