Meetings and Partings (1973)
Uzbek young man Rustam, a helicopter co-pilot, is participating in the construction of a high-voltage line in the Alps. One day in West Germany, where he was sent on a long business trip, the hero meets Uzbek emigrants. The external well-being of the new friends very soon revealed the catastrophic nature of everyone’s destinies. These meetings contribute to Rustam’s spiritual and civic maturity; the hero rediscovers the necessity and significance of his homeland, where his family and friends have long been waiting for him.
