Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film is based on a true story witnessed by the director of the film. At the very railway junction where he spent his childhood there lived two people - an old shepherd and his daughter in law. The shepherd's son died at the front. The young wife, however, never accepted his death and kept waiting for her husband's return. The film "Daughter in Law" portrays the usual lifestyle of Turkmen shepherds with much insight and sympathy for the deeper meaning of traditional values. The wealth of detail and the laconic, iconographic, imagery prompted certain critics to call this film an "encyclopedia of Turkmen life." The cast of the movie is also noteworthy, especially the performance of the young actress Maya-Guizel Aymedova, who later became one of the best-known actresses of Turkmenistan. The film received the USSR State prize and was awarded numerous prizes at international film festivals, including Locarno, Tbilisi, Sorrento, Venice, etc.
