Doctor, living through the trials of the Stalin era and the World War II, does not lose his human values.
In their first collaboration Melkonian and cinematographer Mikhail Vartanov film two neighbour families that both claim ownership of a huge mulberry tree growing in the middle of their two houses.
Based on Zorayr Khalapyan's novel of the same name, a medical graduate is appointed as a doctor to a village, never losing his human image in spite of Stalinist repression.
