Movie description:
During the war years Uzbekistan, like many other southern and eastern republics of the USSR, offered shelter to tens and hundreds of thousands of refugees, took care of many orphaned children. The movie tells the true story of real wartime heroes, the blacksmith Shoakhmed Shomahmudov and his wife, who adopted and brought up fourteen »evacuated« orphans of different nationalities. Children of different nationalities became members of the same Uzbek family...
The film is a touching story about an Uzbek family who gave shelter to 14 kids evacuated during the World War II while their own child was at the battlefronts. Children of different age and nationalities learn to live together in one house – a Russian boy, Uzbek, Jew, Lithuanian girl, Tatar, Kazakh and others. Every child gets to the Makamov family accidentally but stays there by the good will of the foster parents, who understand that it would be better for the kids to stay at their house rather than at the orphanage during those difficult years.
»You Are Not an Orphan« is a rare film depicting a difficult life in war-time Central Asia, and paying tribute to the events of the Holocaust.
It was once a major film, but is largely forgotten today. Behind the plot is a real-life story of an Uzbek couple who adopted fourteen wartime orphans, one of them Jewish.
