The art of carpet weaving in this country is considered a traditional craft that is passed down from generation to generation. Carpet weaving has already become an integral part of the lives of the people of Kyrgyzstan. According to the plot of the film, the main character, Turdugul, is considered the most skilled weaver in the mountain village, she spent many years weaving, but Maf Kadir enters her life, and with him a late love that begins as quietly as it ends, leaving only an unfinished carpet. After many years, this black-red-yellow carpet accompanies the heroine's love on its final journey, then memories of the faded love are resurrected in her soul again…

The new film is shot in a realistic manner: the entire landscape tells about the simple and deeply meaningful life of people in Kyrgyzstan, silently touching the hearts of viewers around the world.
This is not Akan Arym Kubat's first visit to the Shanghai Film Festival; two years ago, he headed the jury at the New Asian Talents competition at the same festival. The director noted that he had taken part in various festivals around the world, but he had never seen such a wonderful organization of the event, where filmmakers from all over the world could freely communicate on the sidelines of the Festival, as well as such a warm welcome. The director emphasized that he was deeply impressed by the integration of the old and the ultra-modern in this Chinese metropolis.
Speaking about exchanges with Chinese colleagues, Aktan Arym Kubat noted that China represents a huge opportunity for Central Asian countries, not only in cinema, but also in economics, politics and culture. He said: “The China-Central Asia Summit was held recently, where not only filmmakers, but all our countries are trying to find unity. I will be happy to cooperate with Chinese filmmakers!”
