''Mari Cried'' chronicles the fracturing and dissolution of a family following the invasion of Azkali by Ukilen Union in 1979. The film primarily follows Tzali Eutasi and Iekago Naikañi, a teenage couple, and the rest of the Eutasi family, as they live in the town of Sutarai in Northern Azkali. As the 1st Bapho-Azkali War begins, Tzali, Iekago, and the Eutasi family flees Sutarai and arrives in Chekearoa and survives the Battle of Chekearoa. The family flees south towards Otzeipao and towards Moru to flee behind Baphian military lines on Athi refugee convoys to the Athi States, forming a party consisting of the family and others. The party is destroyed off one-by-one in encounters with Baphian infantry, eventually leaving Tzali, Iekago, and a young girl named Ausuko, as the only survivors. At the end of the film, Tzali, Iekago, and Ausuko are seperated in an ambush by Azkali partisans: Tzali is discovered by Baphian infantry and murdered in a mass shooting in the suburbs of Moru, being buried in a mass grave; Iekago is captured by Baphian slavers and taken to the Bartsinan Quarry, being executed in 1989; Ausuko is able to flee Moru on an Athi convoy ship, but dies of plague shortly thereafter in the ship.
