Plot
The film tells about one day of life of three teenagers living in a small Karabakh village during the first days of the Karabakh war. The main characters of the film are three teenagers 14 years old: Aram, Astghik, Tevanik. They divide the narrative into three semantic blocks: a sonnet, an elegy and a tale.

The first part of the film presents a harmonious and prosperous family, which is forced to divorce in the current military situation. Little Aram becomes the bearer of the tragedy of a crumbling family. His childhood ends in one day, and the reason for that is war.

The second part of the film tells about Astghik, through the image of which the film reveals the female theme. From peace to war is one step, and in that short time Astghik loses his family, his love and his ideals.

The third part of the film is dedicated to Tevanik, who becomes a participant in military operations. Despite the chaos and tragedy surrounding him, the boy remains unable to raise his hand to the beautiful, and the seconds become decisive.
The film is dedicated to all those children who, living in a conflict zone, bear the cruel seal of war on their fate.
