Synopsis: This film tells the story of children who weren't even able to find a morsel of bread to eat durring the war.Vagif is 12 years old.His father is at war and his mother, on a buisness trip. The youth has lost his ration card, but dosen't want the other boys living in the same courtyard to feel any obligation to share their bread with him.He is too proud; begging for something to eat would contradict his nature. Besides, he realizes it would not be easy to gain the right to share the bread. Vagif finds a way to work for people and earn his own bread rather than beg. One interesting episode in the film shows a young girl who has no doll. She experiments with substituring other things to make her own doll. She tries the water tap, tying her scaff around it. But the lower part of the tap makes the doll's nose appear too long.Then, she experiments with her knee, tying the kerchief around it and drawing eyes and a nose. Her simple creation brings her great satification..This doll scene may well be one of the most memorable in all of Azerbaijani cinema.
