A small village in southwestern Volhynia inhabited by Ukrainians, Poles and Jews. It’s 1939. Among other conflicts, the tension between Polish and Ukrainian neighbours is growing as well. There are fights, and people disappear. Eventually, in the summer of 1943, a dreadful carnage ensues. Troops of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army attack Polish settlements, provoking Poles into an equally ruthless vengeance.
