Transcarpathia. Anton the lumberjack is a decent guy, whose work is appreciated and even rewarded. Ilya is mean and envious. The main thing for him is profit. When there is an order to cut down the forest array near one of the villages, Anton refuses to perform this task because logging can lead to village destruction due to landslides. But Ilya is pleased to take up this work. The situation is complicated by the fact that Anton likes a girl, but Ilya as if on purpose, takes care of her.
