A Ukrainian soldier walks home from the war into the 1918 fight for the Kyiv arsenal. Dovzhenko does not stay literal for long: a gassed soldier laughs, a beaten horse turns and tells its owner he is hitting the wrong one, a mother stands still in an empty field while the war takes her sons. At the end the soldier bares his chest to the firing squad and the bullets will not kill him.
In one programme
The second panel of Dovzhenko's trilogy. A newsreel and a folk song in the same reel, and he refuses to say which is which.
