Her life is determined by the work on the farm and the harassment of her aunt and uncle. It changed from the moment a man named Düischen built the village's first school on behalf of the Soviet power and against the will of the villagers. In addition to reading and writing, the politicization of students in the sense of socialism is an important part of the lesson.
