Kirill, a psychology student, is having a hard time being "befriended" by Sonya. They used to be close friends, but secretly Kirill was head over heels in love with her. Kirill is confident that he will achieve Sonya if he studies the psychology of the friendship zone in his course work. But to prove that friendship can be turned into love, he decides to test the hypothesis on his friends.

A young girl comes from Almaty to Moscow to visit her best friend, with whom she is secretly in love. She wants to confess her feelings to him, but the events of one night completely change her attitude.

Karlygash (translated from Kazakh as "swallow") lives with her husband Ilyas and father-in-law on a horse farm, lost in the Kazakh steppe. Karlygash is a stranger to everyone here, and Ilyas has not yet forgotten about his first love for a girl named Aina. Everything changes with the arrival of a foreigner in their village - Frenchman Louis, a photographer who went on a trip after breaking up with his wife.

Rudolf, a German traveling in Central Asia, comes to a small village in Kazakhstan. His arrival changes the young woman Karlygash (the name translates from Kazakh as "swallow"), and a mutual interest arises between the young people.

The old man lives alone only with his work, he is a switchman in a remote Kazakh steppe. The only time when he feels happy is the night when he sleeps and he dreams of a beautiful girl. One day, not far from the railway, an old man sees a car, inside which a girl from his dreams finds himself.

Shy and reserved, Aidana grew up in a conservative Kazakh family. The transition to a new school gradually changes her life: she understands more and more who she is and what she wants. And friendship with a classmate Zhenya opens up feelings previously unknown to them in both of them.
