Kadyr Karimov (Rustam Sagdullaev), a Bolshevik army officer and Uzbek who has been nursed back to health by a young Uzbek woman to whom he is now married, gains responsibility for the local village in 1929. He is urged by comrades in Tashkent to have the local women drop their chadors and veils but he is also told that he should not force this on anyone. His wife Goulsara (Tamara Shakirova) declines to take off her veil, so a 14 year old girl Kumri (Dilorom Kambarova) steps forward to set the example, over the objections of the local Muslim clergy and most of the village men. A rather gruff, demanding female teacher from the north is replaced when she is attacked by a 16 year old gentle girl who also does not wear the veil. She goes from door to door, and teaches classes to women about the world and women's place in it. When she is helped by the young Bolshevik army officer, and his wife starts to get concerned. After the girl is killed, and Commissar Karimov is shot, his wife takes him to the hills to nurse him back to health once again. Goulsara begs her husband to leave the village. Instead when Kadyr decides to return, Goulsara is pressured by her father Ibragim (Khikmat Latypov) to continue to wear the veil while her husband asks her to set an example for women's modernization.
