In the sweltering summer of 1916, young Qoravoy lives with his widowed mother and sisters in the bustling streets of Tashkent. The city pulses with the rhythms of early‑century Central Asia—vendors shouting over the clatter of carts, the scent of spices drifting from doorways, and a tapestry of traditions that both cradle and confine its inhabitants. Against this vibrant backdrop, Qoravoy’s boundless curiosity and restless spirit turn everyday moments into a playground of possibility, setting the stage for a series of whimsical escapades that capture the essence of childhood wonder.

The film paints a world where the ordinary and the extraordinary coexist, inviting viewers to glimpse a society caught between age‑old customs and the subtle stirrings of change. Its tone balances light‑hearted mischief with a gentle melancholy, reflecting the bittersweet reality of a boy navigating a world that is at once nurturing and unforgiving. The visual palette is saturated with warm earth tones, sun‑kissed rooftops, and bustling markets, each frame echoing the lively cadence of a community where every street corner holds a new story.

Along his journey, Qoravoy encounters a cast of unforgettable figures—a quick‑witted friend named Aman, an enigmatic elder who offers both guidance and caution, and a parade of strangers whose lives intersect with his in fleeting yet meaningful ways. These relationships, flavored with humor and humility, illuminate the boy’s growth as he learns to balance his innate mischief with emerging responsibilities. The film’s narrative rhythm mirrors the cadence of a child’s imagination, weaving together moments of laughter, surprise, and quiet reflection.

Through its richly textured setting and the endearing charm of its protagonist, the story becomes a portrait of youthful exuberance set against the timeless tapestry of Tashkent’s early twentieth‑century life, leaving the audience eager to follow where Qoravoy’s inquisitive heart will lead next.
