Ivan et sa femme Anna sont russes, Assan et sa femme sont kazakhs. Ils sont voisins dans un petit village du Kazakhstan. Quand Anna donne naissance à un enfant brun aux yeux quelque peu bridés, Ivan la suspecte de l'avoir trompé avec Assan. Le soupçon empoisonne la vie de ces deux couples pendant des années. Ivan est méprisé par la famille d'Anna, de vrais Cosaques. Assan et Ivan disparaissent : l'un va dans les steppes, l'autre chez son grand-père qui pourra lui raconter l'histoire familiale. Ils reviendront de ce voyage après avoir entendu les chants des mers du sud leur apporter l'apaisement. Dans une région de brassage et de contacts, ce sont des histoires bien plus profondes et anciennes qui expliquent les apparences.

The movie starts with an adoption ceremony presided over by five old women (Beshkempir literally means "five grandmothers"), in a village in Kyrgyzstan. The movie then flashes forward a decade or so to show the coming of age of the adopted child - Beshkempir. He is shown indulging in childhood pranks and activities with friends in a rural setting, like stealing honey from beehives and going to watch screened Hindi movies. However, approaching adolescence leads the boys to spy on a village woman's breasts, make clay models of the female form and pretend to make love and eye girls. Beshkempir is even shown as the message carrier between an older boy and his girlfriend.
