On the Second Round

The film follows Murad, a talented young designer who navigates the complexities of his marriage and career at an institute led by his wife's uncle. Upon discovering that the institute is more focused on promoting worthless projects than genuine innovation, he rebels and faces immediate consequences, including termination from his job.

After being fired, Murad takes a position as an adjuster at a different company while secretly pursuing his passion for design. This conflict between aspiration and reality captures the struggles of creatives during a time of systemic challenges in the late 1980s.

Collectors may appreciate the film's cultural significance and its representation of Uzbek film history. Available on blu-ray, On the Second Round offers a chance to explore this unique narrative and the filmmaking style of its time.
