Volhynia, 1905. Jan Bereza is exiled to Siberia, while his wife dies in a fight with the military police. Bereza's daughter, five-year-old Hanka, remains unaware of what has happened. Years pass. The orphan Hanka grew up without care. She fell in love with a wandering poacher, mocking the superstitious village. Misunderstandings on this basis lead to vigilante justice... Having escaped death, Hanka finds herself in a gypsy camp. The king of the gypsies falls in love with her, but the tireless poacher Zbych finds Hanka and causes her to break up with the king. Threatened, they escape and return home together, where they find Hanka's father, Bereza. The year 1920 arrives. War breaks out, from which Zbych returns victorious to his Hanka. They set to work together and create a new, happy home.
