The plot of the film unfolds in the heart of the Carpathians, in the Hutsul region. In the center of events are lovers whose families were sworn enemies. Despite mutual family hatred, feelings turned out to be stronger. However, they were not destined to be together for long - a fatal accident changed everything.
