Synopsis:
The story is set in a village Lavci close to Bitola, and is about a teacher who initiated a partisan rebellion against Bulgarian occupation. This film is on one hand a story about this horrifying occupation and its goals (breaking down Macedonians and turning them into Bulgarians), and on the other the legend of a Macedonian teacher who tried to inspire people to rebel against this, (a teacher who was brutally killed – burned down in a stable after refusing to surrender; there is a legend that only his bones were found inside)... As the director Vatroslav Mimica said himself, this film still has a cult following in Macedonia.
