In their path - simple and peaceful people, whose main entertainment is close to the ground and singing, and if possible, do it at the same time. These people are Estonians. They do not know how to fight at all, so they appoint a Catholic-educated boy as their sole leader. In the fight for freedom, they have to overcome countless obstacles, first and foremost the Germans, the French, the Russians and, worst of all, the Latvians. Will they succeed in defeating the enemy, or will they experience a real cultural awakening?
