Trying to convert the local population to Orthodoxy by force, the monks and soldiers meet a tough rebuff from the locals. The wife of the peasant Bulat dies, and his son Asfan is taken away in an unknown direction.
It is a social drama that focuses on a peasant village dealing with the struggle of young Komsomol members against old ways of living.
