It is summer, a time for carefree holidays and many enjoyments for two friends from a small city in the mining area at the foot of a picturesque mountain. There are obligations too : to clean the house and look after the young brother. Problems start when twelve-year-old Narguiz, the elder of the two girls, is a bit too busy with Erkine, the leader of the local gang. Yet, Erkine seems to be indifferent and looks down his nose at Narguiz. He considers a friendly relationship with a girl is too demeaning. The two friends are now facing their first disagreement. —Cinema Ousbek
