Plot Summary

Baira and her husband live in a small Kalmykian settlement. They love each other, farm sheep and do all the housework together. They're satisfied with their way of living, and don't need anything special. But Baira doesn't know that before the death of his old friend her husband has promised to marry his young and charming granddaughter (as a second wife). At the wedding ceremony Baira realizes she can't stand it, and leaves her house, setting off to a big city. The life there is completely different from the one in a small village. Baira would see euphoria, extreme danger, she would fall in love and would face death. But she has came to a city to find a way to get free from this deep insult.
