In the fall of 1919
In the midst of the War of Independence, Estonian partisan Evgeny sets out on a reconnaissance mission and accidentally discovers an abandoned homestead. There, he encounters Leena, a communist girl defending a cache of revolutionary arms. Their dialogue reveals ideological contradictions and misunderstandings, as Leena is unaware of Estonia's proclamation of independence. Suddenly, her comrade Kolya appears, leading to a conflict. The characters must choose between loyalty to their beliefs and the dream of a free Estonia that they both long to see.
