O'tov

Ubaydullo and his son, Javohir, live in a yurt at the foot of the mountains. Ubaydullo's family has a painful history: his grandfather was overthrown by the Soviet regime, and his father was exiled to Siberia as an "enemy of the people." Carrying this historical trauma, Ubaydullo lives a quiet life—praying and herding sheep. He tries his best to shield his son from the outside world by refusing to let him pursue higher education and keeping him from serving in the army. However, Javohir resents his father's overprotective nature and feels suffocated. Meanwhile, Javohir's heartbreak deepens when the girl he loves marries someone else. Tension peaks one day when Javohir brings a television home, only for his father to smash and bury it. Frustrated, Javohir secretly leaves home to join the army. During his absence, Ubaydullo marries a mute young woman named Zaynab, and the couple later welcomes a baby girl. Javohir eventually returns from the military, but he has fallen into drug addiction. Desperate to cure and save his son, Ubaydullo resorts to an extreme measure and buries him in the ground up to his neck to detoxify him. Despite these severe struggles, the film ends on a hopeful note, showing the family eventually finding peace and living happily together. ^ "O'zbek kinosida Vatan mavzusi: g'oyaviy to'siqlardan milliy qiyofagacha". oyina.uz.
