The film is about a Ukrainian village during the time of the Russian Civil War. With power alternating almost daily between Soviet and Ukrainian nationalist forces, the villagers of Malinovka are never sure who is in charge, so they modify their behaviour and dress accordingly.

Cast

Dance scenes were cast with the participation of the Moldovan dance troupe Joc.

Cultural influence

One of the film's main characters, Nazar Duma, has a completely unrelated namesake in a different famous Soviet film, Tractor Drivers (1939). This coincidence was used in a crossover parody film, Tractor Drivers 2.
