- In an Armenian village, evicted in the result of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Abgar stays behind all alone in a gradually shrinking enemy ring. He waits for his daughter, who has become a witness to her husbands murder by an angry mob and was hospitalized with a mental disorder. An Azeri named Ibrahim, for finding and bringing Abgars daughter, suggest that he worked on the construction of a mosque. A few days later, Ibrahim finds the girl, named Yurga in one of the psychiatric hospitals of Baku and brings her to Abgar. Abgar wants to leave the village with his daughter, but his skills of a stonemason are required for construction of a new mosque. Abgar realizes that this work in the Azerbaijani villages will be endless, and that he is trapped. Day after day, Abgar - the real owner of an abandoned paradise, spends his days in a terrible silence of the devastated village, in the nightly howl of dogs guarding the thresholds of the houses of their owners and in the presence of an unresponsive daughter, not even recognizing her own father. It seems Abgar lives among ghosts. His only companions are dogs; he feeds them and talks to each of them, as if talking to their owners. Abgar tells about everything that is happening in the village and in his soul to his daughter, who lives in delusion. Father and daughter live quietly and silently, trying to be excluded from the world around them. However, the situation is gradually deteriorating, food runs out, the hope to see relatives reduces and the danger from the enemy hold increases. Robbery and crime elements appear in the village that wont obey any rules. Abgar watches his corner of the heavenly paradise gradually turn into hell, from where the only way out is escape. The leader of the Azerbaijani gang eventually fulfills his intention and attempts to rape Abgars daughter. Ibrahim who calls in at Abgars place kills the Azeri and together with Abgar and the girl leave the house trying to flee from the chasers through deserted places. However they get trapped and the Azeri gang surrounds the cattle shed which has sheltered them. The sustained fire makes Abgar stay in the cattle shed, struggle, distract enemy's attention and save the girl. Abgar struggles bravely and dies in the cattle shed. Ibrahim breaks the enemy's ring and holding the girls hand and then carrying her on his back, tries to bring Yurga to the Armenian border through the mountainous area and woodlands.
