Young Moro, a student in Moscow, returns to his native Alma-Ata to collect money owed to him. While waiting out an unexpected delay, he visits his former girlfriend Dina, and discovers she has become a heroin addict. He decides to help her kick the habit and to fight the local drug mafia responsible for her condition. But Moro finds a deadly opponent in «The Doctor», the mafia kingpin who is exploiting Dina. One of the first and certainly one of the best examples of the so-called Kazakh New Wave.
