In the film, Natavan's childhood was portrayed by Kubra, the daughter of Anar Heydarov, a martyr of the Patriotic War.

Note that the heroine of the film is a 35-36-year-old woman named Natavan. Originally from Shusha, Natavan is a photographer and lives in France. 5-year-old Natavan, whose fate changed in 1992 due to the occupation of Shusha, was forcibly displaced in her homeland for a long time, and her family became martyrs. Natavan, who lost her mother when she was twenty years old, moved abroad.

The events in the film take place in the period after the Great Victory of Azerbaijan in the Patriotic War. Natavan came to visit her ancestral home. The hero's intention is to touch history, convey the real landscapes of Karabakh and the truths of Azerbaijan to the world through the photo exhibition "270 Moments of Shusha".

Moreover, the film recreates a real historical event, the chess game between the famous Azerbaijani poet Khurshidbanu Natavan and the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas, which ended with the victory of the khan's daughter.

The film will be released with English subtitles to a wider audience.
