Yerlan is in love with Bayan, a bookstore worker, but has no way to meet her. At the same time, he receives a summons to the army, which his brother's children help him to avoid: Yerlan becomes a "fake" father for them. As a token of gratitude, Yerlan takes the children to a cafe where he meets Bayan and introduces himself as a single father. This little lie will become a big test not only for him, but also for Yerlan's relatives.
