Plot summary
Two brothers choose the opposite sides in the Estonian War of Independence. In November 1918, the bolshevik Red Army of Soviet Russia invades Estonia, and the newly independent country's government declares a general mobilization. Henn Ahas, son from a poor family, in his inner struggles, hesitates at first as he does not know whether to follow his brother to the bolshevik side or join the government forces. He decides to join the government troops and heads for the front to reach the unit of his gymnasium classmates.
Ahas is captured by the Red bolshevik forces. In captivity, he meets Marta, a young girl from a wealthy family. A Finnish officer, Sulo Kallio, who has arrived in Estonia to support the government forces, helps Ahas and Marta to escape. Ahas joins the same unit with all his classmates, and through the battles and adventures that follow, the young brothers-in-arms grow up, although destiny would also bring them some bitter surprises and sacrifices.
