Abdumamad Bekmamadov, who came to Russia to work from the Pamirs (Tajikistan), performs ballads about everything that happens to him in Moscow. For four years, the authors of the film watched the life of the protagonist in his different identities, a labor migrant, an artist, a father and a husband who has not seen his family for 10 years. Episode by episode, Abdul transforms the plots of his real story into poetic texts that so easily fall on the rhythms of traditional Pamir songs.
