In the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan, a team is laying pipelines not far from a village. The engineer of this work is a woman born in the area. Her parents are still living there in a tent. One day, while work is progressing well, a powerful gas jet gushes out of the depth of earth. The pipeline workers try their best to control the fire. While speaking with her father, the young woman remembers a local legend where once an earthquake had overcome a fire. The only solution seems to cause a huge explosion…. When nature finds its own ways to fight men’s unlimited exploitation!
