Sogdiana

Rustam is a handsome and rich young man. In the afternoon he leads his company, and at night he goes to clubs and parties, where he always gets a good drink and a lot of girls. He likes this way of life until he meets Sogdiana, an attractive dancer who was adopted as a child by a former prisoner. Sogdiana loves her stepfather and says that she will never leave him. Between Rustam and Sogdiana, passion flares up, and they decide to marry. But this does not interfere with the family of a rich guy, and the stepfather of Sogdiana is an alcoholic with disabilities.

Directed by Bahrom Yoqubov, Sogdiana leans on a strong ensemble — Sogdiana, Farruh Soipov, Tohir Saidov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2006.
