A social drama about relationships in the family of the chairman of the Tajik collective farm, Mukhammedzhan Kurbanov: the sons Zafar and Kurban stand on different positions in life. The eldest son wants stability and silence, but the father says there will be no silence, progress does not stand still. Collective farmers in neighboring areas do not fulfill the norm due to lack of water. Young activists develop a plan to irrigate dry land with electric pumps to raise water up the mountains.
