The film was selected as the Azerbaijani entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, but didn't make the final shortlist.

For his performance in an International Feature Film, Teymur Odushev won the award of Young Artist Awards 2011.

The story is set in Baku. A famous Azeri photographer has to choose between accepting a valuable job offer in Africa or marrying his fiancée -- a young, talented sculptor inspired by images of ritual dances.
The photographer decides to accept the job offer and -- once again -- postpones his wedding.
During the ensuing quarrel, the photographer and his fiancée have a car accident along the road which leads to the ancient cave city of Gobustan. They later find themselves in a police precinct, where the photographer has to come to terms with his dread of women or he will not leave the precinct alive.
