A Disappointing Continuation

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

I may recommend this movie for those who has a great enjoy of life. The music in the movie is the music of life. The movie itself shows the truth in the life, the truth which is difficult to correct or let me say, to change. Th life in the deserts like Farkhor is very difficult. I myself spend my life in such conditions. For those who never experienced this life maybe the movie is a bit funny. But for me, I didn't notice any comedy, but rather tragedy. Yes, the tragedy of the usual lie of Tajiks. The movie is in Tajik/Russian language. However it is written that the movie is in Russian only. Daler Nazarov is great in choosing composition. Long live Bakhtiyar Khudaynazarov!!!

The film is a pre-Enlightenment allegory, or the description of one thing under the guise of another. Certainly not social utopianism or realism. The young woman tempts the mortal laws by defying custom and the material world. She wants to follow her spirit and a craving for Shakespeare and the world of Orpheus. She is compelled to bring forth the child . . . or the longing of her soul. She suffers various hardships and adventures on her journey, sometimes comically and ineptly aided by her hapless buffoon father and idiot-savant brother. Only when she leaves the earth can the mysterious birth occur in the coupling of the female with the male.

This is a really sweet story about the East. A young girl becomes pregnant, and her father and brother want to find the papa.Of course, it's not an easy thing, so we can follow them on their long and funny trip.It's really serious at the start, and it becomes more and more absurd. At the end, when you think it's over, it takes a round, and goes on.With beautiful scenes, and with a Kusturica-styled humor.

The whole time I watched this movie, I was reminded of the films of Emir Kusturica. The setting in an eastern landscape (here: somewhere in the asian part of russia) and the grotesque characters could have been elements in Films of the bosnian director Emir Kusturica. But in this case it simply won't work. The film is simply boring.
