Our hero, 'Teacher' is a man in his mid-forties. He is working on a children's book called The Flight of the Bee, while teaching at his village of Asht, Tajikistan. He is an average 'simple' man yet he possesses a strong sense of justice and fairness. By contrast, his neighbor is a rich and pompous man. The two men are separated only by a wall, but they are living in two different worlds. Teacher's neighbor continually treats the poorer man with disdain by constantly peeping at Teacher's toilet is too close to his neighbor's wall. Teacher, infuriated, demands his neighbor that the toilet be moved away from the bruised, Teacher goes to the public prosecutor for help. The prosecutor is arrogant and unsympathetic; spurning Teacher's plea for help. No law has been broken so Teacher has no legal recourse. Unable to receive any help, he decides to take matters into his own hands, using an unorthodox method to get back at his ruthless neighbor.
