Gulbahram Baybosynova

1988. The young composer Turdykylish Iztaev is facing a creative crisis and is on the brink of depression. He has a family, children, and a job, but he has always dreamed of writing a song that will remain in history. His wife, Khanbibi Esenkarakzy, a well-known poetess, tries to support him and invites him to a May Day getaway in the mountains. However, this retreat becomes a trial for Khanbibi: Turdykylish falls in love with the young Nurikamal, who has come from Akmolinsk. Khanbibi watches the events unfold with jealousy and faces a difficult choice — to "gift" her husband the inspiration he seeks or to save their family.

For the sake of her dream to start a family and give birth to a child, Asel, despite the incurable disease, is ready to go through all the trials and make any sacrifices. And even having lost hope of realizing her dream, she still retains faith in it to the end.

Against the backdrop of a conflict between former friends, and now a soldier and a prisoner, events break out that will make them make a difficult choice. This choice changed the history and attitude to true heroism.
