A film about awakening. The winter returns after the spring was already in its rights. The stork back from the warm countries touches slightly the snow on its nest and flies away. The unexpected cold costs many troubles for the farmers. But nothing could stop the awaking nature. The spring is back. A big tree with many nests on it. The Biblical Mountain is on the background. And many storks land their nests on this big tree.

Movie about an endless search for an unattainable idyll, lost harmony between man and nature. The director concentrates on the inner world of his characters and the mood of nature.

Armenian artist Hakob Hakobian repatriated from Egypt. There, far from his native land he was painting portraits trying to find in the faces of his models Armenian features. In Armenia he is painting also landscapes and even just the sky. Working in his studio he tells about his friends-repatriates. They by themselves, or their parents had survived during the genocide of Armenians in Turkey in 1915, and were dispersed all around the world. We see Hakobian's friends back in Armenia at their work: an old farmer with his big family, a driver, a gas-stove expert.
