Overview
In the first half of the 17th century, the peasant Nazar Stodolya, sentenced to death by the Polish magnate Haletsky, is rescued by his friend Hnat. Later, Nazar and Hnat find themselves in the estate of the Ukrainian centurion Kichaty. The centurion, having invited a priest, persuades the fugitives to sign a paper stating that they have voluntarily been assigned to Kichaty’s estate. Hnat does not sign the paper, and Nazar, falling in love with the owner’s daughter Halia, easily puts his signature and thus falls into another bondage. Soon, Hnat leads the people’s struggle against the oppressors, and Nazar and Halya join the rebels.
