In this hilariously surreal adventure through [[Uzbekistan]], [[Tajikistan]], and [[Kyrgyzstan]], the story of a young, simple Tajik girl is narrated by her unborn child. Mamlakat is an aspiring actress, daughter of an eccentric father, and sister to a mad brother, who falls for the lies of an actor in a theater company that passes through her village. After he promises to make her an actress because he knows [[Tom Cruise]], Mamlakat sleeps with the guy. He’s gone in the morning – but leaves behind undeniable proof of the night's events: Mamlakat is pregnant. Determined to protect their honor, her eccentric family set out on a journey in order to find the father. And we glimpse a fantastic central Asian reality, filled with small, unusual villages, falling-from-the-sky cattle and enormous flying bricks…

==Plot summary==
17-year-old Mamlakat lives with her father Safar, who raises rabbits, and mentally disabled brother Nasreddin in an unpaved lakeside village in [[Tajikistan]]. She works in a restaurant and dreams of becoming an actress. A travelling theatre company visits the nearby city but she misses the performance and wanders for a while. She chances upon an aircraft pilot, Yassir, who pretends to be an actor and a friend of a famous American actor. He promises to help her become an actress, but instead seduces her while she is in a dream-like fantasy, leaving the village immediately afterwards.

When she discovers that she is pregnant, she has no idea how this happened and who the father is. Determined to preserve her and their honour, her eccentric family sets out on a comic journey in order to find the unborn child's father and to force him to marry her. During this journey - in an old car loaded with rabbits - they travel through [[Uzbekistan]], Tajikistan, and [[Kyrgyzstan]]. The family meets various bandits and the charming impostor Alik, who poses as the seducer in the dark, and falls in love with Mamlakat.
