I'll Give You a City

The hero of the painting is a young man who is engaged in deciphering ancient cuneiform inscriptions. His life flows exactly according to schedule, everything is predetermined, calculated, taken into account. But suddenly events begin to develop so rapidly, unforeseen circumstances assert themselves so completely that Yunus cannot get to his own wedding for a whole day and becomes an active participant in many events taking place on that day in the city...

Directed by Edward Khachaturoff, I'll Give You a City leans on a strong ensemble — Obid Yunusov, Gani Agzamov, Dilorom Kambarova — 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 comedy titles of 1978.
