A stark, visually poetic Soviet silent film that uses a peasant's tragic collision with collectivization to explore the human cost of ideological fervor and class conflict.

During the agrarian collectivization process in the Soviet Union, Vasyl, a peasant member of the youth division of the Communist Party, gets a tractor with the help of a local party organization and plows private boundaries on kulak fields. However, this enthusiasm will cost him dearly.
