Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a poignant scene of a young woman named Zolzaya (Tsetsegee Byamba) as she stares deeply into the camera and counts to twelve, repeating the number three times before tears fill her eyes. Meanwhile, Bagi (Batzul Khayankhyarvaa) is listening closely as a woman recounts his personal history. She shares that before his birth, each citizen received fresh apples weekly, distributed from the skies by pilots as part of a revered tradition in their community. One of those pilots was Bagi’s father, and the postal worker was Bagi’s mother. She speaks with a heavy heart, noting how Bagi’s father was never meant to fly, suggesting a predestined path he denied.
