The first post-revolutionary years in Kazakhstan, the period of formation of Soviet power. More than once, the bandits tried to deal with the singer of the people, the poet Erken, but could not silence him. It seemed that the earth itself kept him safe — he found shelter and help in the homes of the poor, escaped from prison, on the instructions of the Bolshevik committee, under the guise of a tramp, made his way to the south, explaining everywhere the advantages of Soviet power for the people. Erken carried his love for Aklima through his whole life. Having met her once in one of the villages, he could not forget a young woman whose fate was tragic.
