Asanova"s film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. Although Asanova was Kyrgyzstani, it is noted by author Anna Lawton that "Her ethnic background is not apparent in her films, as she was able to assimilate the mood and her habits of her adoptive Russian city.".
