In the 1930s, during Collectivization, we follow Alexandra Sokolova, who having joined a kolkhoz, is promoted by the Party to the management of the farm: she becomes chairman of the kolkhoz, courageously coping with the difficulties of collectivization, the distrust of some fellow villagers, and family conflict.
