Synopsis: Makhzum, a young Muslim from Tashkent who spends his time writing poems and dreaming of storks, is sent to an Islamic college to study. When he is caught trying to kiss another boy, his scandal-fearing father decides to marry him off in a hastily arranged ceremony to a girl who is herself already in love with someone else. Strong religous and social traditions ensure that, despite the repeated refrain that they 'have entered the 20th century', grievences between the two families compound themselves and tragedy follows. Robert Shore, Metro London | ||||
