The fate of the powerless laborer Yodgor, who became an active builder of a new life in Soviet Tajikistan.

High in the mountains of Tajikistan lies the Obi-Safed meteorological station. Komsomol members Rajab, Dilbar, and Vika work there. Suddenly, the station’s peaceful life is disrupted by alarming news: a violent flood of the mountain rivers is expected, threatening the fields and herds of nearby collective farms. To assist the meteorologists, hydrologist Mirsaid arrives by helicopter from Stalinabad. For the helicopter pilot, Petr, every flight to Obi-Safed is a joy — his fiancée Vika is there. For the young, confident hydrologist Mirsaid, these flights are also not without interest, as he is actively courting Dilbar, much to Rajab’s dismay. Meanwhile, danger approaches.

The film portrays with exceptional psychological depth the image of the miser Cory Ishkamba, a disgusting money-grubber and exploiter, a hypocrite and a hypocrite, whose name has become a household name.

A young, ambitious and self-confident girl, Zulfiya, is appointed senior assistant at the surgical clinic. She is still an inexperienced doctor, and immediately makes a number of serious mistakes. Realizing the lack of personal professionalism and the limited medical practice, Zulfiya refuses a high position and leaves as an ordinary doctor to the mountainous region of Tajikistan.
