The fourteen-year-old stubborn and arrogant Haik has a dream: to hunt a pheasant. For a long time he tried to a frazzle out his father's hunting gun for that purpose. Eventually he gets the gun. Already in the forest Haik understands it's not a pheasant hunt season; besides he doesn't know how to use the gun. As it gets darker, the colorful autumn wood turns into a cold and a frightening place, that the desperate boy strives to escape... Finally he manages to get a pair of superb pheasants. And perhaps something else, that is much more important.
