Damir should execute an important mission, but casually kills a girl, Barchyn (with who he is in love with) and her boyfriend Adilet and also dies himself. He did not know that they should become his parents in the future. After death Damir hardly elicits a new life to himself to rectify the error. Now he is born again as a gangster, a godfather, and again falls in love with the girl Barchyn. The history repeats itself. Damir does not remember his promises, but intuitively and by means of dreams, he rescues Barchyn and Аdilet from inevitable death, thereby getting an opportunity to be born once again. Now he is born again as the son of Barchyn and Adilet and can carry out his important mission. —Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival
