The film is about the civil war in the Zangezur (Syunik) province of Armenia in the early 1920s. The last Dashnak battalions headed by Sparapet Nzhdeh still opposed both the incursion of Red Army and the local Bolshevik partisans.
The young front-line soldier Ando, who has just returned from World War I to his native village, inspires his villagers to fight against "class enemies."
