The father of the family, Nursultan Kopzhasarovich, respected in society, owns the entire farm in the village, so his only son Bolat grows up careless and spoiled, which more than once leads to problems and even criminal liability. At another drinking party, Bolat rapes a local school graduate. The father wanted to hush up the matter again, but the girl’s parents had already filed a statement with the police. The only way out of this situation is a wedding, but the life of the family turns into a real nightmare.

Zhalgas's life seems to have it all—success, family, comfort—but he lacks peace of mind. Shadows of the past and hidden secrets haunt him every minute. He blames his mother, Mayrash, for his childhood dreams and all the family's misfortunes. One day, after a fight between his mother and his daughter-in-law, when a scandal erupts in the house, Zhalgas decides, on the eve of his mother's anniversary, to personally drive her to the village to talk things out and sort things out along the way.
