Tashkent,
around the time of the October Revolution. Iskander
(Bakhodyr Adylov) is faced with a knotty problem.
He has three wives and that's two more
than the Bolsheviks allow.
Iskander
is press-ganged into joining the revolution
and shows unexpected skills as a public orator,
making rousing speeches about the emancipation
of women, but he's the one who craves the freedom
to hold on to his three-woman harem. To complicate
his tangled romantic life even further, he falls
in love with Maryam, a party secretary.
