Where does the dividing line lie between insanity and supersensitive mentality? How should we treat people who act in a different way then we do? A young and gifted shrink sets up a group, using up-to-date and unknown methods. His idea is to socialize such people, to integrate them into a society they keep aloof from, and help them to survive.

Old Jordan Gerak, the head of a large peasant family, still strives to maintain a close-knit family, good relations and mutual love in the house. He is a hardworking, warm—hearted and cheerful man. But unbeknownst to himself, he is drawn into the whirlpool of hoarding: he keeps a tavern, saves and hides money, exploits the labor of workers. The passion for profit, like a terrible disease, infects the souls of his sons and family relationships crumble...

The film is based on the memoir 'In the name of the People' by Mitka Grybcheva, an activist in the anti-fascist resistance. The action takes place during the WWII and reveals the sharp clash between police power and resistance forces, headed by the Communist Party of Bulgaria. This is a time when, 'in the name of the people', the fighters are setting up underground combat groups, which punish with death their political opponents. The film's characters are specially trained for the purpose young people, members of one such combat group. Against the background of their risky task, in the execution of which they have to pay with their own lives, every facet of their characters stands out. Faced with death they reveal their intimate worlds, their unrealized youthful impulses that have been sacrificed in the name of commands, disparate from the Ten Christian Commandments.
