It is the past that determines the future of Armenia, says a woman right at the beginning of the film. Much of what is said later in the film proves her right.

The main characters of the story are Pauli, a teacher's son, and Sepp, the son of a sawmill owner. They get to know each other while serving as altar boys, become friends and decide to form their own gang with themselves as leaders. Their first major objective will be a battle against a notorious gang from the neighboring village . . .
