It is based on the novel of the same name written by Albert Kivikas in 1936 about the Estonian War of Independence fought in 1918–1920.

Despite peaceful speeches, the army of the Soviet Russian is attacking Estonia, and the country's government is declaring a mobilization for all.

Henn Ahas, the son of a poor family, hesitates to go to war because he does not know whether he will follow his brother to the Red Guards or join the government forces alongside his schoolmates.

Finnish officer Sulo Kallio, who is aiming for government forces, release Ahas and Marta, and they escape.
