Set in turn of the century Baku at the dawn of the 20th century, a young man wishes to marry. Since he is a rich and successful business man, despite his young age, he feels that he should have his pick of any bride that he fancies, however, Azerbanjani tradition dictates otherwise.

In one of the villages, opponents of the Soviet regime - the bai, the mullah and the disguised enemy - the chairman of the collective farm - decide to use the Muslim holiday of Ramadan in order to disrupt work in the cotton fields of the collective farm, and some farmers succumb to the mullah's agitation - they hold fast and cannot work in the field. The individual farmer Timur, the farm laborer, faithfully follows the laws of Ramadan. Timur is an honest and religious person, a hardworking worker who manages both for himself and manages to work both in the mosque and at the bai, dreams of making a pilgrimage to Mecca.
