The film plot is written by Yusif Samedoglu based on his father poet Samed Vurgun's The Komsomol Poem which is about the events of the 1920s and the Soviet overtaking of Azerbaijan.
Seven young communists, led by Bakhtiyar (played by Hasan Mammadov), are sent by the revolutionary committee to the remote village of Peykanli.
This village is under the control of Gerai-bek (Hasan Turabov), a powerful landowner who refuses to submit to the new Soviet government and actively resists it.
Jalal confronts Gerai-bek, openly admitting that they remain enemies while also confessing his love for Humay.
[2] They travel through the villages during the takeover of Azerbaijan by Bolsheviks in order to establish and strengthen the Soviet power.
