The love story of the son of Imam Shamil Jamalutdin and Lisa Olenina against the backdrop of the dramatic events of the military history of Russia in the first half of the 19th century. Jamalutdin went down in history as a "great hostage", and the film is an attempt to answer the question: a hostage of big politics or big love. The historical context of the decline of the Nikolaev era, against which the story of love and betrayal, honor and duty, service to the motherland and loyalty to this word unfolds, will become the key to the film.

This movie is about love and hatred, about the fact that the racial-tribal division of mankind, the division between 'us' and 'them' as an animal-instinctive phenomenon, should disappear. It is about the conflict between conscience and duty, honor and a tragic situation, from which everyone is seeking a way out, except for ... the "village idiot' Halois, the childhood friend of Aitech ... And maybe only people like him know the truth, people who are above religious and racial prejudices? Maybe people like Halois are our conscience, honor and dignity?
