In a small Uzbek village, three friends - Nasir the snuff seller, Dulan the feldsher, and Uroq the market loudmouth - decide to test the power of praise. What begins as drunken banter about belly fat, wisdom teeth, and village politics turns into a month-long pact to flatter one another. Yet as the compliments pile up, vanity, envy, and absurdity grow in equal measure. Blending satire and humor, the story pokes fun at human weakness and the corrupting sweetness of flattery, showing that praise - though seemingly cheap - can prove more potent than gold.
