MOVIE Discussion: TIKHAYA NEVESTKA (QUIET DAUGHTER-IN-LAW)
(Turkmen film)
Hilarious Comedy from Turkmenistan
Tikhaya Nevestka, directed by S. Karadzhayev, is Soviet-era classic. This beloved Turkmen comedy narrates the adventures of a “modern” Turkmen girl who marries her sweetheart and deals with traditional Turkmen and Islamic family customs. The heroine falls into intrigue with her mother-in-law and faces comical misunderstandings from her extended family. A film thick with humor, this splendid comedy illuminates the difficulties of everyday life in a small Turkmen town.
