You have to pay a terrible price for this - two very different families cost the life of their children. But even a more serious test for the authorities, for the whole village and for each of its inhabitants, the indomitable element of a forest fire becomes ... In conditions of historical changes and in the face of a natural disaster, a new generation chooses its life path, involuntarily following the covenants of the elderly.
