    • Stas is a young Korean-Uzbek, who is the third generation of Koreans who were deported from the Far East of the Soviet Union under Stalin. He and his three friends–Kasoy, Shin and Said- hang out cheerfully at the garage in Tashkent where Stas is working. While they try heroin for the first time, they hear the news that brother of Kasoy is attacked by Uzbek gang robbers in their taxi. In the action of revenge on the leader of the gang-Maha, Kasoy got killed by him.

Stas performs his task successfully by catching some drug dealers, and find Maha among the dealers. But the corrupted captain releases Maha and gives Stas some money as bonus. And his friend Said commits ‘sweet suicide’ by overdose and vodka. FrustratedStasthrows the money and his detective badge at the captain, and walks away with the ‘evidence’, 1 kg of Heroin.
      1 years later, Stas is at the bottom of his life. He is a drug addict. He lies to his neighbors as Said once did. While begging for heroin to a seller with insufficient money, he finds out it was Maha who were always behind the door selling him the drugs. Stas climbs a snow covered mountain alone. He spends days and nights to be born again off the drugs.
