00:19Every March as winter begins to loosen its grip, people across Central Asia welcome the arrival
00:24of spring with Nafuz, a celebration of renewal, light and new beginnings.
00:29In Uzbekistan, it's the moment where nature awakens and visits entire communities.
00:34In the south of the country, in Surhandaria region, spring comes earlier than anywhere else, and so do the celebrations.
00:42Here, Norris is already in full swing, out in the open, under the sun, where the season can be felt
00:48the most.
00:49This is traditional Uzbek pilaf cooked today in Surhandaria region.
00:53Here, the Kazan is set over open fire, and the rice slowly takes the color of yellow carrots and local
00:59land.
01:23As the land softens after winter, the fields open once again for Kupkare.
01:28Norris marks the moment when riders return, horses are brought out, and the centuries-old game comes back to life
01:34with the season.
01:36This is Kupkare in the Surah Oseo region, a fast, noisy contest where riders test strength, balance and nerve.
01:43The game lost millions, but preparation of horses and pride belong to the whole year.
01:47We are a national game.
01:49Our players are a lot of Kupkare.
01:52In the summer, Kupkare is a lot of Kupkare.
01:56We have a lot of Kupkare in the world.
01:58We have a lot of Kupkare in the world.
01:59We have a lot of Kupkare in the football game, but Kupkare is a lot of Kupkare.
02:04Norris moves across Uzbekistan with the season itself.
02:07In Andijan, it arrives in full scale with large gatherings, performances and crowds coming together in open pastoral rounds.
02:15Norris brings people together through tradition, celebration and community.
02:20Across the celebration area, you can see national games, traditional dishes being prepared and also performances taking place,
02:27all reflecting the spirit of renewal that defines this holiday.
02:53Andijan is home to a diverse, multi-ethnic population where different communities live side by side.
02:59Every year, we are waiting for this holiday as ever.
03:03Every year, all new and new ideas.
03:06Uzbekistan is our common home.
03:08From Andijan, the celebration moves to the capital.
03:11In Tashkent and Norris fields parks, streets and public spaces.
03:15At the center of the celebration is Somalak, a traditional dish made from wheat, slowly cooked over 12 to 24
03:22hours.
03:38In Tashkent's Navruz Ethnographic Park, the celebration unfolds across every corner.
03:44Taitrop workers perform above the audience, while magicians and street performers add to the festive atmosphere.
03:51Among the locals are visitors from around the world, including Finland.
03:56Join here to experience the celebration holiday firsthand.
04:00We heard that Navruz is the new year.
04:03People make wishes for the new year and they eat Somalak.
04:07And we actually also tried Somalak.
04:09And it's a very similar dish to Finnish Mämmi that we eat around the same time for Easter.
04:14I love the atmosphere here in the park.
04:17It's great weather and good music and a lot of people and everyone is smiling, so it's very nice.
04:22Beyond parks, the celebrations extend across the city.
04:26People gather along newly opened tourism streets, where food, music and performances continue late into the day.
04:39For centuries, Navruz has marked more than the arrival of spring.
04:43It's the moment where everyday life slows down.
04:46Across Uzbekistan, the celebration may look different from region to region, but its meaning remains the same.
04:54It's the moment where it's the moment where it's the new year and the new year and the new year.
