An upcoming biopic on world-renowned Kyrgyz author Chingiz Aitmatov. The film traces his childhood, losing his father, and the personal struggle that shaped his literary voice—from humble beginnings to becoming the voice of his nation.

35-year-old former prosecutor Ilyas goes to his native village, where the residents have a secret. In a mysterious gorge there are multi-ton stones that look very much like flying saucers. They are part of an ancient civilization that scientists have not yet reached. In those places, Ilyas saw the family of Shirin, his first love. Memories of the trials they were unable to overcome surface.
