"At some point," Rafael tells Arzu, "people walk together ... and then their ways part ... each destined to follow the labyrinth of their own inner city ..." Arzu, a young girl growing up in contemporary Azerbaijan, falls in love with Rafael, her piano teacher's son, a veteran of the Karabakh War. Twice her age and unable to escape from the ravages of war, Rafael is forced to live on the edge of a society that sees him as a 'cripple.' Arzu, desperate to escape from the same repressive society which confines women to a strict, narrow path, chooses Rafael over her family and friends - but threatened by Arzu's mother, and guided by the wisdom born out of his own brokenness, Rafael makes the supreme sacrifice of love ...

In a remote Azerbaijani village, things take a turn for the worse on the wedding night when the firing of a gun, a local tradition, doesn't go according to plan.

The events in the film take place in a remote place, far from the modern city and civilization, where the real and the unreal worlds meet. There, mysticism and reality are so intertwined that all kinds of miracles are expected. The people there live by their own unwritten laws. The punishments given to those who violate them are also completely different.
