In place of the Donetsk steppe, overgrown with chamomile and feather grass, a mining town is being developed. Brigadier of the youth mine Grigory Griva is in love with comrade Lyuda and therefore often openly sneers at her organizational skills. But when he is alone with her, he becomes timid and shy, for which he is angry with himself and makes up new pranks.
The second story is connected with the appearance of Christina in the mining town, a beautiful but closed-minded girl who falls under the influence of the presbyter of the sect. Komsomol member Arsen who has fallen in love with the girl helps her leave the sect.
Because of lack of safety on the set actress Inna Burduchenko died during the filming. She initially became famous for playing the main role in the religious drama Ivanna. The director of the film Anatoly Slesarenko was prosecuted for this and convicted. Sergei Paradzhanov completed the work on the film and gave it a new title (the original one was Thus Nobody Loved).
