For some time now, life in the family of Kozma Josan, the chairman of a collective farm in one of the Moldovan villages, has not been going well. In response to the indifference of his wife, Domnica, the Goat fell in love with Olga, a fellow villager, who reciprocated his feelings. But their happiness is like wormwood, bitter: everywhere they are haunted by Domnica's heavy gaze, in which anxiety and pain are frozen.

The film is about the life of Dmitry Cantemir and the Moldovan people from November 1710 to July 1711. Turkish troops are preparing for war with Russia. The Sultan entrusted him with the throne of Moldavia. Cantemir secretly established ties with Peter I and concluded a military-political agreement with him, according to which Russia took Moldova under its protectorate, pledged to help expel the Turks and restore the former borders of the Moldovan state.
