A Soviet silent film depicting the violent transition from traditional peasant life to collective farming through generational and ideological conflict.
The film tells about the creation of the first collective farm communes and class enmity. Vasyl, a member of the Komsomol, with the help of a local party organization, gets a tractor and plows private boundaries "on kulak fields." However, this enthusiasm will cost him dearly.
