A director is remaking a classic Iranian film in Tajikistan. The studio armorer is worried that the gun they intend to use is not a prop gun, and fears the consequences. A young woman arrives at the location insisting that she be given an audition. At the same time, In another part of town, Sara, recently recovered from a car crash, suddenly realises that her accident was all part of a conspiracy. These people’s destinies inevitably intertwine.

Melody teaches music at a centre for cancerous children. The thirty children are having a party at the end of autumn and ask Melody to compose a piece using the sounds of thirty different birds. She goes to her home village to record the birdsong and is helped by the mute caretaker of the family home, Mango. When they find just 20 birds, Mango makes Melody understand that only the old village singer knows where the other birds are, but bird hunters have forced him out of the village. Melody sets out to find both - him and the missing birds.

The events of the film take place in the Tajik outback. The story which presented is the story of two-three families. The large-scale drama of ideas in the film becomes the drama of several people living in a remote village, and the conflict, which may seem civilizational to someone, ends completely at home and so that everyone has time in the future.
