- Synopsis:
- Set in the bleak aftermath and devastation of the 'Great War' (WWI), a recently de-mobbed soldier, Timosh, returns to his hometown Kiev, after having survived a train wreck. His arrival coincides with a national celebration of Ukrainian freedom, but the festivities are not to last as a disenchanted Timosh soon begins to clash with the city's authorities when he starts to agitate for the adoption of the soviet system. The unrest eventually comes to a violent head when, outnumbered and holed-up in a munitions depot where he used to work, Timosh and other Bolsheviktroops defend their besieged city from the advancing nationalist White Army.
