After 10 years in Moscow, broke thug Hamro returns to his native Tadjikistan village to tend to his dying mother Halima. Khamro realizes that he must sell her house and belongings as quickly as possible. His debts are long overdue and the townspeople are as tough as the big city crowd he now frequents. Hamro immediately starts renovations to his mother’s house. Of course, to get a better selling price, but also to grant his mother’s wish for a decorative double gate, one that will allow her coffin to exit with dignity and not be lifted over the wall in humiliation. Hamro soon gets more than he expected from the quiet countryside village.
