История жизни Джалила начинается во время Великой Отечественной войны и заканчивается в семидесятых годах ХХ века. Это история азербайджанской семьи, история взаимоотношений двух братьев, трагическая в своей неразрешимости. Это трагедии человека, которому не дана возможность понять ближнего, ближнего в самом высоком понимании этого слова. Джалил искренне любил своего младшего брата Симурга, и не было для него человека роднее. Непонимание этого, нежелание понять, приводит к разрушению целого мира, который строил Джалил долгие годы в соответствии со своими принципами и законами своих предков.
