Atanes Ghambaryan, resident of Armenian border village, after the captivity during the World War II, turns up abroad in Turkey and dreams of returning to his homeland. During one of night patrols, border guard Armen who is in love with Ghambaryan's daughter Seda, recognizes him on the other side of the river Araks.

The film is set at one of the remote outposts along the southern border, where a rather strange case is being investigated: border guard Ashot Terzyan killed a dog on foreign territory. In the course of explaining his perfectly justified action (Ashot was saving a boy from the dog), the young border guard made it clear to his superiors that a border crossing was being prepared on the other side. However, he did not present any concrete arguments or justifications. The border violation was detected a few days later. And soon after, Ashot himself noticed a man at the railway station whom he had clearly seen on the other side during the ill‑fated incident with the dog.
