The death of their exceptional father shakes the Shatmanov family to its core, forcing them to reflect on the past and future. Erkin, who has built a life in Moscow, faces criticism from relatives who see him as having betrayed his roots. Yet his love and work keep him tied to the city. This film delves into the inner struggles of a modern man torn between duty and belonging.
