Directed by Rasim Ojagov, this film depicts the love affair between Zaur, a man from an affluent family, and Tahmina, a divorced woman doing her best to survive in a conservative society.

Zaur (Fakhraddin Manafov), the 26-year-old son of a prominent and well-to-do professor (Hasan Mammadov), falls in love with Tahmina (Meral Konrat), a divorced TV anchor.

Social pressure and continuous calls from Zaur's mother (Zarnigar Aghakishiyeva) to Tahmina eventually cause problems in their relationship, leading them to break up.

Although Zaur is devastated, the final scene of the movie shows him taking out his wife's grocery list and driving to the market, implying that life goes on.

In Azeri Women in Transition: Women in Soviet and Post-Soviet Azerbaijan, the anthropologist Farideh Heyat discussed Tahmina, saying that "The story reflects many of the tensions and contradictions that faced the young in the professional middle-class society of Baku in the post-Soviet period," and noted how it portrayed the influence that mothers wielded over their adult children in Azeri society.
