In the Siberian wilderness, among the taiga and swamps, two families live in the small village of Elan, who have long been at war with each other: the "kulaks" of Solomin and the poor Ustyuzhanin. And they do not know for the time being that they are destined to become related, that despite all the winds of history, fate will push them together again and again, both in hatred and in love; they do not know what bloody, tragic events await them ahead.
