Durante la Guerra Civil de 1917-1921 en Ucrania, un terrateniente y su familia huyen de las tropas bolcheviques, que se encuentran ya en las afueras de la ciudad. El portero fiel (Anton) se queda atrás para proteger los objetos de valor de la familia, enterrándolos en el jardín. Durante la caótica huida en la estación, el hijo del propietario se separa de la familia y regresa a la propiedad, donde Anton lo esconde en su pequeño cuarto del desván. Por la noche, la mansión es ocupada por bolcheviques dirigidos por el hijo de Anton, Andrii. Anton no comparte las ideas políticas de su hijo y se resiste a mostrar su amor por él. Hasta que sucede algo...

The defeated remnants of vile Ukrainian nationalists, headed by the leader of the Ukrainian liberation movement, Symon Petliura, cannot accept their historical fate and are plotting an insurrection against the Soviet regime in Ukraine. There is nothing Petliura and his cohorts would not do to win back control over Ukraine, including selling it to the highest bidder, in this case, the Polish dictator Jozef Pilsudski. A group of plotters are coordinating an insurrection in Kyiv with an attack from Poland headed by Petliura’s general Yurko Tiutiunnyk. Predictably, the invincible Red Army defeats the nationalist plotters and proves that the Soviet borders are impregnable.
