In 1989, Yavar, who was serving a sentence in one of the remote prisons of the Soviet Union, returned to his native land, Karabakh - to the village of Yukhari Veysalli in the Fuzuli region. But everything has changed here, and the massacre of peaceful Azerbaijanis by Armenian militants has resulted in the deployment of Soviet peacekeepers in the region. Moreover, there is no news of Garatel, whom Yavar has loved for years and whom he was preparing to marry. Yavar, who takes on the defense of Yukhari Veysalli and the surrounding villages, gathers fighters around him. But when he comes face to face with Alexander Rokhlin, who leads the Soviet peacekeepers, he is astonished and is faced with a choice.
