The film is based on the novel of the same name by Ivan Hryhurko. The story is about the difficult life of young mechanics working on an irrigation canal in the steppe. Each of them has his own problems: a long-standing enmity, a prison past, family problems, and a complicated love for a single mother with a child. But the difficult remote work in the steppe forces everyone to change their outlook on life.
