A darkly comic Central Asian tale that blends village life, family bonds, and coming-of-age trauma into a tragicomic narrative about an unwanted pregnancy and the absurd quest to find the seducer.
The unborn child of Mamlakat is telling her story. She is 17, beautiful and vivacious, and dreaming secretly of becoming an actress. She lives with her father and brother in a small village in Central Asia. One night she is seduced by an actor from a travelling troupe, who poses as a friend of Tom Cruise, and gets her pregnant.
