Триптих (1980): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1980, Триптих is a drama film directed by Ali Khamraev, running about 76 minutes.

What it’s about. This intriguing mixture of melodrama and politics is not divided into three parts; the title instead refers to three female characters whose lives intersect in a small town in northern Uzbekistan during the difficult days following World War II. The first is an old woman trapped in a forced marriage; the second is a schoolteacher imposing progress on the remote region; the third, and most important, is Khalima (Kambarova), an illiterate but determined young woman who resolves to build her own house without either her husband's or the state's approval. The film's harsh vision of life in postwar Uzbekistan, as well as its ambivalent attitude toward the conflicting demands of individualism and collectivism, made it the object of official disapproval.

Who’s in it. Триптих stars Dilorom Kambarova as Khalima, Gulya Tashbayeva as Zanobar, Zukhra Abdurakamanova as Khadicha and Anvara Alimova as Khalima's Mother, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.5/10, Триптих has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
