Summary

The film attempts to show the spiritual world of carpet weaving - an ancient kind of craft of the nomadic people, passed down from generation to generation. Beliefs, thoughts, the process and the artistry of this case are revealed in the film "Oyum", which is a play on words and translate from Kyrgyz language as "my thoughts", as well as ornaments, patterns with which nomads decorate carpets and more. In the absence of the usual literary monologue, all the director's decisions lie in a purely visual sphere.
