Jekshen, de 12 anos, um corredor excepcional, vive em uma bela vila montanhosa no Quirguistão. Seus pais são divorciados, e a vida com seu pai alcoólatra é difícil. Jekshen solitário só tem sua namorada da escola e os amigos de seu pai para apoio. Eles o encorajam a participar de uma grande corrida — uma corrida que poderia mudar sua vida para melhor.

Centaur é um homem modesto, pai amoroso de um garotinho silencioso e marido de Maripa, uma jovem surda. Juntos, eles tocam uma vida simples em uma pequena vila no Quirguistão. Centaur é um homem acima de qualquer suspeita, mas apesar do respeito que inspira, guarda em seu peito uma crença profunda: ele acredita que o povo de seu país se tornará invencível através da adoração a seus cavalos e que vem sendo punido pelos céus graças a práticas mercenárias com os animais. Para salvar sua terra natal, ele começará a roubar cavalos de corrida durante a noite.

It is a rainy day in the far-distant 1960s. A lone taxi stands outside a telephone booth at the bus station in the city of Frunze, waiting for passengers. The taxi pulls out only when full or if someone pays for the entire car. Everyone who approaches the taxi tries to place a call to a loved one, and thus we learn different stories. One passenger, Zoja, is escaping to her parents’ house, fleeing her husband who is cheating on her with a friend of hers. Two passengers who are in transit are debating about a classmate, Muhtar and his wife Mahabat – will he recognize them, welcome them into his house as late-night guests. The discussion blossoms into a true drama. The taxi driver makes a call home, too, to say good-bye to his wife and ask what to bring his newborn son from far-off Osh. During the night, we learn about the tragedies and joys of the passengers and phone booth users.
