Gregory, who burns the hormone of youth, loves the wife of his neighbor Schipan, and he often sneaks under the neighbor's window to peek, and once Grigorli took advantage of Schipan's absence to meet with Aksinya in the crop field. This was seen by Gregory's father, who knew it was time for his son to marry his daughter-in-law.
Gregory, who has a heart, follows his father on a blind date, Gregory sees that the girl is docile and beautiful, and in order to complete his father's unshakable task, Gregory agrees to the marriage, and the girl Natalia Natalia also likes the sunny and handsome Gregory, so the affair is fixed.
On the day of the wedding, almost all the people were overjoyed, except for one person, she was Gregory's lover Aksinya, on the one hand, the voice of the people was full of songs and dances, and on the other hand, Aksinya looked at the bridegroom Grigory with a knife in her heart, and silently vowed in her heart that she would take Gregory back.
On the wedding night, Gregory faces his wife Natalia, who does not understand the style, and misses the Aksinya with a variety of styles. The next day, before dawn, Gregory took his things and said to his wife resolutely, "I don't love you", I will not come back, and I will disappear into the snow and wind.
Natalia was abandoned, and she endured great pain in her home in Gregory's house, and although Gregory was no longer coming back, she was willing to wait.
After leaving, Gregory has been in contact with his lover Aksinya, and on a stormy night, the two are ready to elope, and Aksinya is pregnant.
They worked for a farmer far from home, and Aksinya later gave birth to a daughter.
The war began, as a heroic Gossat, Gregory signed up for the government army, when he left, he left Aksinia on the farm, and the mercurial Aksinia got along with the farmer's son, but she still loved Gregory in her heart, no way, the merry Aksinya was inseparable from men. Later, the child she had with Gregory also died of illness.
Gregory, who had returned from the battlefield, returned to the farm to discover Aksinia's affair, beat up the farmer's son Fat, and went home despite Aksinia's retention. At that time Gregory suddenly remembered the virtuous and loyal wife in the family. The wives finally waited until their husbands returned, they became very affectionate, and soon their sons were born.
Young Natalia, just waiting to grow older day by day, she still endured the ridicule of her neighbors, but she still loved Gregory in her heart and hoped that he would come back.
She asked someone to find out where Gregory and Aksinya lived on the farm, and when she was about to melt by the fire of jealousy, she secretly went to talk to Aksinya, hoping that Aksinya would return Gregory to her, but Aksinya used verbal deception to seriously injure Natalia, in fact, at that time, Gregory had already joined the army.
Beaten again, Natalia was even weaker and haggard, and when she heard through the informant that Gregory had died in battle, she was ready to kill herself by cutting her wrists. Fortunately, she was discovered by the villagers in time and picked up a life.
In fact, Gregory did not die, but was saved by his own brother, and only then did he return home.
Although Gregory has always liked his lover Aksinia in his heart, after the betrayal, he sentenced his wife Natalia to two people, very gentle and considerate, Gregory's father looked at it and was very happy, especially the daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson.
At this time, Natalia, who was in a sweet and happy situation, fell seriously ill, but did not tell Gregory, on the other hand, Gregory was going to go to war again, this time he was not participating in the government army, but the Red Army against the government army. As he parted, Gregory warmly combed his wife's few hairs.
It was Aksinya's betrayal of Gregory that gave him a turnaround in his relationship with his wife, who married him as a tragedy, the pain of love, deep and humble.
Aksinya, who had returned with Gregory, begged Gregory for forgiveness, and Gregory saw Aksinya's pitiful but touching appearance, and finally softened his heart, and they reconciled.
Natalia, who had learned the news, found Aksinya again, and the two women were fighting for a man.
It cannot be denied that both women are deeply in love with Gregory, but as a righteous wife, they are even more jealous and resentful of the existence of Aksinia, who is like a ghost in her own life.
Natalia already knew that her time was short and was sure to come back to compete with Aksinya, this time she had the upper hand, because she and Gregory already had a son and a daughter.
Natalia died irreparably, Gregory's father died suddenly one morning, Gregory's brother died in battle, and Gregory's mother committed suicide. The family was left with Gregory's sister and Gregory's two children.
Gregory, who had defected to the rebels, sneaked home late at night, but was unexpectedly informed, and in the middle of the night, the village of Sangen sent someone to arrest him, Aksinya should have stayed without running away, but she insisted on following Gregory every step of the way.
The two men took simple dry food and went straight to the valley, not expecting that someone had already ambushed them, and Aksinia was shot on horseback, and blood gushed out from under the neck, unable to speak, and the grief-stricken Gregory took advantage of the moonlight to bury her lover Aksinya.
Having lost his lover and wife and parents, Gregory finally tired of the war and returned home physically and mentally exhausted.
It was early spring, the quietly flowing Don River was cold and bone-chilling, gregory desperately swam in the direction of the home on the other side, and returned home, only to see a desolate and dilapidated place, and he fainted weakly in the once steaming courtyard.
The two women who had been entangled with Gregory for most of his life had left him, and now only his sister and his own young son were left in the family.
The two women who are entangled with Gregory are deeply in love with Gregory, but they show love in different ways.

And Natalia's love for Gregory is deep and stoic, loyal and even somewhat humble.
Although participating in the war did not bring any honor to the warlike Gossart boy Gregory, or even ruin his family, in that turbulent era, he had the love of Natalia and Aksinya, two different types of women, which was also some comfort.
