ERKAK

The Shepherd

Yusup Razikov

Jamshid is a thirteen year old boy whose elder brother goes abroad to make money leaving his young wife Mastura alone. Local custom forbids her to remain without male protection, so Jamshid has to accompany her everywhere, giving up his usual teenage pastimes and his first love. This situation vexes Jamshid and sets him against his sister-in-law. But a trip with Mastura and her sudden disappearance bring about a change in the boyžs attitude towards her. .
