Plot synopsis
The diaries of the eighteen-year student from Baku
provided the basis for the film. She lived in the USSR
in the late eighties and as many her compatriots desperately
tried to understand what was happening with
her large great country. Why is it falling apart? Why
do gunmen kill with impunity their citizen? Why is
administrative dereliction observed? What for and
why are children perished? Meetings of many thousands
were held almost every day in Baku and people
demanded the resignation of the local authorities.
But Gorbachev brings troops into the city on the
night of 20 January 1990 in the response to those
demands. The heroine’s husband is perished. She
was married only for 6 months and 18 days. She
failed to endure sufferings and pain and committed
suicide.
