The story of heroine Ecaterina Teodoroiu, the only woman who fought in the Romanian Army during World War 1.

The movie is set in 1788-1843, a tumultuous era for Walla Wallachia, when the Phanariot regime was exercising its power over the people. In a world marked by oppression, the young Iancu Jianu becomes a symbol of resistance, fighting against abuses. Together with his friend Mereanu, Jianu plans courageous actions to stand up to the tyranny of the Phanariots and bring justice to the country. His journey brings him into contact with Tudor Vladimirescu, the leader of the 1821 rebellion movement, and the two unite in a fierce struggle for freedom and independence.

The movie details the struggle of Iancu Jianu as he's torn between joining the struggle of the poor peasants from which he came from and being on the other side of the law working for the rich.
