About Nisso
A girl from a tiny mountain village with narrow, walled-in streets and steep, slippery paths lost her mother. Her childhood, spent in her aunt's house, was marked by hunger and poverty. When a tax collector from the powerful and cruel Azizkhan (played by G. Niyazov) arrived in the village, her aunt had no money to pay, so she gave up her niece. And they brought Azizkhan a herd of five goats, a couple of calves, and a thin, frail girl named Nissi, who was destined to become a concubine. The girl decided to run away or perish...
Directed by Marat Aripov, Nisso leans on a strong ensemble — Galia Pulatova, Yuriy Nazarov, Boris Seredin — 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 1966.
