At the ninth grader, Anvar, it would seem, everything is safe both in the family and at school. But the boy did not find a common language with his father, and an unclean person took advantage of this. Anwar, involved in extortion, could not reconcile his conscience with a dirty deed. Only the tragic death of the boy revealed the criminal.

About the family of the old man Achila-Buva, about his children and grandchildren living in an Uzbek village, about an old plane tree covering the saplings with its branches.

Based on the story by U. Nazarov "Audacity".
