Every day, Nurlan, a grizzled freight train engineer, crosses the vast landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains and passes through a densely populated suburb of Baku in Azerbaijan. There, the rails are so close to the houses that his Soviet-designed locomotive almost grazes them. But on his last day at work, a special farewell gift hanging from a clothesline gets tangled in the train: a padded, pale-blue bra. Intrigued, Nurlan embarks on a challenging door-to-door mission to find the woman who robbed him of his sleep, determined to return the unidentified brassiere to its mysterious rightful owner. But this is easier said than done.
