An educationalist priest's attempt to promote literacy in a mountainous village is challenged by a brigade leader who views learning as a waste of time and a means to avoid actual work.

Based on Nodar Dumbadze’s novel “Don’t Be Afraid, Mother”, the film depicts the dangerous life of border guards. Avtandil Jakeli, doing his mandatory military service in a border village, often thinks of his parents, friends, and the girl next door, Daduna.
