Since ancient times, on the vast expanses of Great Turan, there was a tradition of holding the folk game “kupkari” / goat‑tugging / in honor of the birth of sons. In addition to the ability to ride a horse, to be agile and brave, this game also instilled in future warriors such qualities as the ability to win and to be ready to defend their homeland… The film’s hero, the horseman Toshmurod, reveals his unique, humane character against the backdrop of the kupkari / goat‑tugging game. He lives happily with his beloved wife, Saodat, and their five sweet daughters. However, Toshmurod and his wife Saodat have a dream, and they live in anticipation of it. The action in the film “Chavandoz” escalates rapidly. Toshmurod’s childhood friend, Beshim, becomes his enemy and rival in the ulak / goat‑tugging competition/, and deprives him of his beloved horse. In the struggle against baseness and betrayal, Toshmurod ultimately emerges victorious.
