The group studies and performs karachay-balkarian folklore. Gollu is a traditional dance for vernal equinox. The band's name is a metaphor because just like spring is the time for revival, Gollu revive, reinterpret and develop traditional culture of their nation. The connecting thread of this film is legend about debate of person and devil. Fragments of the legend are followed by live performances and footages from archive shooting and all of that create a difficult metaphorical drama about journey from darkness to the light.
