01:33Shrines mark the paths of saints and scholars.

01:36My father was born in the Marglani.

01:39He was a child and was a child.

01:42He was a child and he was a child.

01:44He was a child.

01:51With its many attractions, the region needs skilled youth.

01:55Kokan University prepares them in tourism and hospitality.

01:59The Kokan is also famous for its three houses.

02:16They are forms of memory, spaces where respect and dialogue define daily life.

02:22Porcelain cups cuts the golden light, a typical traditional breakfast here in Fergana Valley.

02:28Words flow slowly like the steam from the teapot, carrying stories from one heart to another.

02:35A morning spent with the elders of the city can bring you close to the sense of wisdom.

02:41From Kokan City houses to Margulans looms, a path of wisdom and beauty and false.

02:48This is the sound of time governing to close.

03:03Each strike of the shuttle, each pull of the reed, a heartbeat, steady and true.

03:09For centuries, this rhythm told stories long before books could.

03:13If silk weaves the fabric of life, then knives forge its heads.

03:40In Chust, this ancient craft has been hunted down for generations.

04:04Agriculture remains the lifeline of the valley.

04:07Grapes, cotton, and fruits sustain not just families, but entire traditions.

04:22In Fragana, old grapes and new technology produce wines loved worldwide.

04:28We grow the grape by ourselves and we do the wine from our harvest.

04:35So I'm going to say that from the beginning till the finished product, we control all the process.

04:41Fragana Valley is not only a region, but almost a world of its own.

04:46A place where architecture, community, craft, and faith continue to breathe life into Uzbekistan's cultural heart.
