Видеоколлаж, созданный из узбекских художественных фильмов, снятых с 1927 по 1985 год, с фокусом на «худжум» (программа по эмансипации женщин в советском Узбекистане). Работа отражает период в истории, когда женщины оказались между традиционным обществом и навязанной государственной идеологией и рисковали своей жизнью, чтобы адаптироваться к новым реалиям, навязанными внешней силой.

Вымерший вид туранского тигра сегодня стал мифическим существом и священным символом Центральной Азии. Режиссер объединяет различные визуальные и звуковые элементы, чтобы создать коллаж форм, которые передают ощущение мистической взаимодополняемости, одновременно говоря нам об утрате, которая приходит с переломом этой важной и основополагающей связи между живыми существами.

This is a passage between two faces, each the same, yet different. Bibicha’s face first appears in the dark, her eyes open and expression impassive, only her heavy breathing betraying the strain she feels. She will withstand the strain and take the vow of silence, retreating to her grandmother’s house for the 40 days to pass. The house and the landscape outside at least offer Bibicha certain sensory distractions: the taste of honey, the texture of a wall, an eye-catching bedspread, the view out over a sea of cloud, water fizzling on the stove. But it is not just her under strain, as her aunt’s frantic text messaging, her grandmother’s rueful acknowledgement of the stories of marital strife on the radio and her little cousin’s illegitimate status bear witness to. Four generations of women in the complete absence of men, yet all marked by their presence, the similarity of their fates blurring together different times and customs.
