The film was shot in Tudora, Botoșani County, and depicts the life of peasants under the harsh rule of the boyars. It recounts the events that took place in the village of Halunga in 1907, when peasants resorted to violent actions to obtain the property deeds they had acquired. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Ion Creangă, adapted for the screen by Constantin Rădulescu-Hodariu.
