Synopsis:
With its complex structure and contrasting of folklore themes with contemporary political and rural motives, this film portrays modern Ukraine. A peasant tells his grandson about the legend of a treasure buried on the mountain Zvenigora and about adventures of which he is the hero. Skipping to present times, the story turns to the October Revolution and we find two of the grandsons on opposite sides: Pavlo, a dreamer and Ukranian nationalist, and Timosh, a Bolshevik and a soldier.
