This epic deals with both heroes and villains of the uprisings during WWI, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian Civil War. The first revolts threaten the power of the Czar Nicholas II. In the village of Tatarsjuky, on the shores of the rivers Don, lives the Cossack family of Melechov. Gregor (Rupert Everett) considers military service as the only way to find fulfilment as a man and to escape from his patriarchal family ruled by his stern father Pantaleimon (F.Murray Abraham).
