The wedding day is set for February 25, 1992, but soon the intelligence officer Alekper is summoned to the city of Khojaly, in Karabakh, where the war is already going on. On the eve of the wedding, preparing to return to Baku, he finds out that the city is surrounded by Armenian forces. He faces a choice: return to Baku, where his fiancée Gunel is waiting for him, or stay with his comrades in the city and prepare for the battle...

Another couple is Alekper's fighting friend Yura Cherny (the prototype is the National Hero of Azerbaijan Yuri Kovalev) and Mehriban, an ordinary telegraph operator. At first, they treat each other coldly, but when the time comes to protect their native land, real feelings for each other wake up in them. As a result of the bombing of Khojaly, Mehriban loses her grandfather and grandmother, after which, with weapons in her hands, she defends her native city.
