In an Eastern European country, the population is suffering under the ruling government. As the people gradually lose their democratic rights, an autocracy is emerging in the country. Young Jakub and his friend Marek lose hope in the peaceful demonstrations. The two join a militia that wants to overthrow the ruling regime. Jakub's foster father Nikolai recognizes the danger and forbids Jakub to join the fight. For the first time in their lives, they go their separate ways. When Nikolai takes in a wounded soldier one morning and Jakub returns, two enemies inevitably meet. Nikolai tries to keep a promise and save Jakub from worse. But Jakub longs for revenge for his murdered friend Marek.
