The film tells a strange story, in flashback, about a British Telegraph Company’s engineer named Hughes appearing in a distant Guria village. Falling in love with the beautiful Anna, the Englishman became the enemy of her brother, Bolshevik Nestor.

The old Anna told that story to a young composer who recorded the music: “My dear homeland, why are you weeping?…”
