Plot summary
Despite peaceful speeches, the army of the
country's government is declaring a mobilization
for all. Henn Ahas, the son of a poor family, hesitates to go to war because he does not know whether he will follow his brother to the Red Guards or join the government forces alongside his schoolmates.
Ahas is unrelated to either, and is later captured by Red Guards forces, and in captivity, Ahas meets the young
bourgeois girl Marta. Finnish
officer Sulo Kallio, who is aiming for government forces, release Ahas and Marta, and they escape. On the escape route, Ahas must choose on whose side he fights.
