Miras (Heritage) looks at the activities of the Nobel Brothers in the oil industry of Azerbaijan, one of the world’s oldest oil producers. After founding the first foreign company in the city of Baku at the end of the 19th century, the Nobel brothers name was glorified; yet few people know about the deep connection of the Nobel Prizes with Baku’s oil.

A terrorist act is being prepared against the state of Azerbaijan and its head by the hands of Armenian special bodies. International terrorist Zorik Babayan, who leads the ethnic cleansing operations against Azerbaijanis in Karabakh, receives an assignment from the Armenian state to kill the head of state of Azerbaijan. Despite the operative operations, Zorik Babayan manages to come to Baku. In addition, a group of traitors is trying to prevent the neutralization of the terrorist. General Ali Talibov is assigned to prevent a terrorist attack.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s the Armenian minority in Nagorono-Karabakh attempted to break away from Azerbaijan, one of the former Soviet republics. Overnight these former neighbors became enemies, and simple village folk were suddenly made hostages in a complex power game. One of the Azerbaijani villages right on the border is home to the family of the peasant farmer Kerim, who has just been captured by the Armenians. The village council decides to take an Armenian in order to arrange a hostage exchange. They imprison the wounded man in the barn next to Kerim's house, where his wife and three children desperately await the husband's return. The captive from the other side of the border finds himself in exactly the same situation - he, too, has three children, he finds it hard to scrape a living together, he has never done anything to harm anyone and, like Kerim, he just wants to go back home. But life in Karabakh is far more complex now. Blood calls for blood.

Based on the play by Ilyas Efendiyev of the same name.

This film follows the events of the first film 28 years later.

The film tells the story of two friends Farid and Ramal. Farid and Ramal were homeless young people growing up on the streets of Baku. Ramal takes advantage of Farid's innocence. He forces him to work, supposedly to save the money and go find his mother. One day, they accidentally save Ayan, the daughter of a wealthy family. Ayan tells these young people about her problems. Farid finds a solution to this problem: he advises that Ramal and Ayan supposedly love each other and get married. And that's how it all starts.

At the request of his colleague, the young lawyer goes to the courtroom to replace her, but he mixes up the rooms and ends up defending a brutal criminal. The following is a catastrophe.

Each of the patients in the psychiatric clinic lives in a world he has created in his imagination, one even says that he comes from another planet and believes it. They live in a beautiful abode that he has created in his mind. One considers himself the leader of the Soviet state I.V. Stalin, and lives in a world of memories, regretting his actions all day long. The other considers himself the famous French actress Sarah Bernhardt and lives her life in a world of images, imagining herself on stage every minute. Although the head doctor in the work tries to understand the imaginary world of the patients, he finally realizes that people who are treated as patients actually live in their own comfortable worlds, and this world is more than the real world.
