In this remote hamlet of the Pamir mountains "roof of the world",
the Soviet government was only established in 1923. Everyone has
his own understanding of such government. For the children, it
means school, the very first one created in the place, and the
young headmaster who initiates them to a new life, a marvellous
world ignored unttil then, a world of knowledge, honesty and
justice…
This adaptation of M. Mirchakar's poem Lenine in the Pamir
merges with great originality elements of silent movies and
talkies. Drawings made of chalk, animation sequences, acting of
the young children, Khatchaturian's music, everything contributes
to make this film which also depicts the revolution in Tajikistan,
one of the most essential work of Tajik cinema of that time.
