The background of the kumquat is the Abkhaz war. Ahmed, a Chechen, Nika, a Georgian, was injured in a local Estonian Ivo. "He killed my friend" "Didn't you also kill two of his friends?" War can give people reasons to kill each other. Some people become mercenaries for money, while others feel that defending the motherland is their duty. Not much better. That's how war is, let two people who don't know each other fight to the death. Margos, an Estonian who grows oranges, was going to return to Estonia to avoid the war after buying it. However, he still did not survive the accident. First, the military vehicle crashed into the fence of his house, and then the house was burned to rubble under the shells. In the end, he himself was shot dead. He said that the reason for worrying about kumquats is not how much profit it can bring him, but that he thinks it would be a pity if kumquats were wasted. It's shameful to waste kumquats, so what about the lives lost in the war? Ahmed and Nika, despite their stumbling, later reconciled by apologizing to each other for killing each other's comrades, but when they think about life after the war, doom always comes now, the Ahbuz army doesn't believe in Ahmed Medd's Chechen identity, with the mentality that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go. At the most critical moment, Nika shot, a Georgian and a Chechen put down their hatred and fought side by side. But the conflict took Margos and Nika. Margos is buried in the orangery he loves, Nika is buried next to Ivo's son, the body of a Georgian killed and a Georgian are buried together, there is no difference between them without life , and no hatred. In fact, there should be no difference between them when they were alive, whether they were Estonians, Georgians, Chechens, Abkhazians, they were all human. In the end, Ahmed drove his car home and took out Nika's tapes and listened to Nika's favorite songs. In a sense, he took Nika to live, as a human being, not a murderer
