Seym vykhodit iz beregov

Many years later Nikolay Donchak has returned to his native village. He served in the army, then studied, became a machine operator. And he was drawn to his native land, to the quiet river Seim - The chairman of the collective farm Terenty Buslay warmly greeted him. During the war years, the commander of the partisan detachment Buslai found little Kolya in a burnt-out village and became his second father. Much has changed since then in the village. Sofia, with whom Nikolai climbed into other people's gardens as a child, got married. The marriage was not very successful. It was not sweet for her in her mother-in-law's house. And my husband has been running around the country for a year in pursuit of a long ruble. Sofiyka, realizing that she loves Donchak, leaves for him. Buslay has also changed. He became colder than during the war years. He humiliates the collective farmers, administers, justifying his illegal actions by the grandeur of the ultimate goal. Buslai is the same tyrant in the family, placing insurmountable obstacles between his son Volodya and his beloved Vera - Nikolai joins in the fight against the vicious methods of Buslai's leadership. But it's not easy to fight with the chairman. He is appreciated in the republic, they go to study. He himself believed in his infallibility. But one day disaster strikes. Buslay sends his son, who hasn't had enough sleep after his journey, on another trip. Volodya falls asleep at the wheel, and the car goes downhill. The death of his son forces Buslai to reconsider his whole life, to understand his mistakes.
