21 July 2010. Overcast morning...
Sergei and Tatiana Nikitin, mid-1990s--singing together in a casual but adept kind of harmony--at home in their own on-stage world. Camera turns to the hall--panning over a sea of once-Soviet faces...pausing here and there...
A couple in their middle years, the man in coat and tie, nicely heavy eyebrows over a thoughtful expression--his eyes blurred behind a prominent pair of glasses. Life of the mind, an analyst in some noticeable respect. His wife, equally alert, but with her own dreams...
Brich-Mulla... Words from a poem, set to music by Sergei Nikitin. A town in the mountains of Turkestan--the Tian Shan--and a child's own yearning, listening to his mother's story...
Golden Brich-Mulla...
