Ukraine. The end of the XV century. All gunpowder made in factories suddenly disappears. The company of cossacks led by Maksym Trytuz comes together to find one of the transports that carries gunpowder to the Zaporozhian Sich.

Bolsheviks aim to set their rules on the lands of the Western Ukraine repeatedly occupied by them. UPA - the partisan army - resists their policy. The civilian population becomes a hostage of this war "without rules", and above all – relatives of the insurgents. Invaders and their allies cruelly torture the Ukrainian people, but the struggle continues. Irritated, "bolshevists" start evicting people to Siberia. UPA tries to prevent this action, but the forces are not equal. Insurgents can only take revenge and punish the executioners.

The coming of Jesus Christ to earth, the unknown Tolstoy, the damned Rasputin, the love of King Richard, and the terrible secrets of the Holy Inquisition. All this in a historical film that intertwines entire eras, plunging the viewer into an unimaginable whirlwind of adventure, the eternal struggle for souls, and the all-conquering magic of love. "Crucified" is a feature film based on Leo Tolstoy's notes, which were banned at various times. Religious beliefs and inquisitorial persecution, fear in the eyes of people and their faith in justice, love and hate, nature and humanity—all these themes are reflected in this phantasmagoric film.
