Nevestka (Daughter in Law)
(Turkmenfilm, 1972)

Shakespearean tragedy on the steppe...

"There are films that can be viewed as the visiting card of the
nation. The film of Khodzhakuli Narliev 'Daughter in Law' is such
an encyclopedia of life of Turkmen people. The film shows an
ordinary life of herders ­ an old man and daughter in law, living
in the desert, but their way of life in a traditional environment
is conveyed with such a depth and emotion, in such a charming
rhythm, which makes it impossible to turn away from the screen"
(Gulnara Abikeeeva, Central Asian cinema critic)
