- After the death of her husband, Zulfiya Zakirova raises five sons and a daughter alone. The Second World War begins. Five sons of Zulfiya go to the front.
- Kamil's peaceful life with his three wives in the remote region of Turkestan is disrupted when a fourth wife arrives. Changes simultaneously rush at a family that seem far from a historical upheaval that destroys long-standing family traditions. The film merges various motifs and images. The motifs of a polygamous family caught in a civil war between White forces and enemies clash with horizontal and vertical images. The images of building interiors indicate where characters and history overlap with an outside scenery. The signs of violent events to come are foreshadowed against a static background. A rare film in the history of Central Asian films, it shows a civil war and the changes in women's lives under patriarchy and war.
- Conceived in response to the atmosphere of uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to take advantage of the growing ubiquity of the video essay form, the Asian Film Archive asked ten filmmakers to reflect on the moving image in the context of their region. Drawing upon histories and archives that are both personal and regional, these works reveal new vistas of inquiry-ruminations that evince the essayists' personal connections to cinema-made more poignant by the fact that they were created during various states of isolation and solitude. The films are divided into two sections: Motifs casts a critical gaze on symbols, systems, and the apparatus of power; Moments deals with the subjective, the ephemeral, and the plasticity of memories.

Pak Ruslan, whose 2012 debut feature Hanaan received favorable reviews from film festivals in Busan, Locarno, and Toronto, presents a strong portrayal of bizarre murders and the destruction of a corrupt state system in his second feature Three, a joint project between Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and South Korea.
