Zharkyn suddenly finds out that he has an adult daughter. Once in his youth, Zharkyn had a fleeting affair with a fellow villager. The lovers quarreled over some trifle, and the girl left for the city. The proud Zharkyn did not look for her, met another, got married and started a family. But 20 years later, the past returned to him: Zharkyn learned that his first love had died, leaving behind his daughter Inkar, who is now a student at the Faculty of Economics.
