The movie is about an Azerbaijani PoW of 1992, where you can see his emotions and thoughts for unfair war against Azerbaijan by Armenia and separatists. At the same time, the hero can keep his human face and shows decent action, which surprised his enemies a lot. He replies about their surprise saying "I do not wish to be in my situation even to my enemies". However, he was always dreaming about a cavalier in white, on a white horse fighting his enemies.
In short, we can say that the story is built on moralism, calling to avoid war-time utilitarian behavior because the justice will come soon or later.
P. S. Färyad was shot based on the the real story of Mehman Huseynov (died in 2015). The movie was shot during the 1992-1994 war, and the hero of the movie (Jeyhun Mirzayev) died right after the end of filming. Azerbaijani regions stayed under Armenian occupation from 1994. The second war hapened in 2020 and finished with Azerbaijani victory.
