Set in late 1980s Baku as the USSR collapses, ethnic tensions flare. Fariz and his family arrive from war‑torn Nagorno‑Karabakh, accusing neighbors of abandoning Azeris in the Armenian conflict. Alik, a gun‑wielding peacemaker, mediates but faces a complicated eviction of musicians squatting in the building’s basement, revealing deeper community fractures.
