Young, full of promises businessman Kamaliddin Kakhkharov- is in this way to a booming career. With the decision of the Board of Directors, he was appointed head of a foreign branch. Before leaving for Malaysia, Kamaliddin travels to his native village Zatkent to say goodbye to his family.
His older brother Fazliddin is passionate of dreaming about growing pistachio plantations. Many of the villagers are suspicious of the idea.
Kamaliddin also believes that it is not a profitable venture.
Misfortune comes to Kakhkharov's family. Fazliddin gets into a terrible accident. Before he dies, he asks his younger brother Kamaliddin to take care of their parents, his wife and children.
Kamaliddin instead of travelling abroad returns home. In his native village he realizes his own dreams and continues his brother's work.
"The fruit of these trees, pistachios - a legacy to our children and grandchildren"-Kamaliddin remembers the words of his brother.

Comments of the scriptwriters:
Djasur Iskhakov:" I have always been stunned by the nature of our region. Deep rivers, wide steppes, majestic mountains, blooming gardens, cultivated fields by human hands. Sometimes the question arises: is it possible to use the huge space of the hills? With great pleasure I learned about the program in the cultivation of open land noble plants- walnuts, almonds and pistachios including".
Mastura Iskhakova:" This in some extent pushed to write the script. The first title was "As heart prompts". That is, the theme of cultivation of pistachio became a kind of backdrop for the dramatic history of our hero- Kamaliddin Kakhkharov".
Djasur Iskhakov:" With having this opportunity, I would like to thank the team of the Small Grants Program of Global Environment Facility, supported by UNDP in Uzbekistan and a staff of scientists of the National Research and Production Centre of Ornamental Gardening and Foresty under the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources in Uzbekistan.
Comments of the director:
Elyor Khoshimov:" For me, this is the first film I shot by the request of the National Agency"Uzbekkino". Before this film, I worked in private studios. Dramatic material gave me the opportunity to talk about the modern hero of our youth. The fact that the talent of being the head, the potential of the youth can be successfully applied on our land as well.
