Two young people, Ferman and Govhartaj, who sincerely love each other, become victims of harsh social circumstances.
The girl’s father, Haji Kamyab, agrees to their marriage. However, the girl’s mother hopes to benefit from her daughter’s position and gain respect and prestige in society. Ferman’s mother understands the situation and advises her son to run away with the girl, but Ferman refuses because he cannot leave his sick mother behind.
Meanwhile, Khudayar Khan wants his son Geray Khan to marry the girl. Both Haji Kamyab and his wife consent to this marriage. Ferman realizes that his uncle will no longer give him his daughter in marriage. To win Ferman’s favor, Haji Kamyab gives money to Ferman’s mother so she can start a business, but Ferman refuses. He clearly understands the hidden intention behind this “generosity.”
Ferman kidnaps Govhartaj. Since the house of the well-known cleric Ahmad Agha is considered a safe place, he brings the girl there. However, Ahmad Agha himself becomes attracted to her. Thinking that Haji Kamyab is very wealthy, he decides that when this wealth passes to Ferman, it would be better if it came into his own hands. Therefore, he arranges the marriage ceremony with the girl for himself.
The girl’s mother is pleased with this decision. Believing that it will bring them honor in the eyes of society, the girl’s parents in fact sign the death sentence of the two young lovers.
Greed destroys lives. One must think about the future of young people and struggle for their happiness. This is the central message conveyed by the performance.
