1755 год. Период войны между Англией и Францией за расширение колоний в Южной Америке. Далеко в горы загнаны ирокезы, стойко сохраняющие традиции и быт племени. С семи лет живет среди них английский мальчик Джордж Растер, украденный у родителей и получивший здесь новое имя – Синяя Птица. Много зла и обид причиняют колонизаторы индейцам. Когда после окончания войны Джордж получил возможность вернуться к родителям, он не мог принять мира белых людей и снова, теперь уже навсегда, ушел к ирокезам...

The electrician Peter Drews is a brigadier at a Baltic Sea dockyard. His men are among the most reliable and diligent workers at the dockyard. Their motivation, however, increasingly suffers from Peter’s narcissism and imperiousness. Even his girlfriend Brigitte who is also a member of the brigade finds it increasingly difficult to accept his behavior. One day, Peter decides that the entire group must enter the navy - just because he has received his conscription call.

During the work at the ship on which Peter is based at she meets the charming lieutenant Asmus.
