August 1943, Europe. The tentacles of the German octopus have begun to recoil. As the Nazis retreat, their concern focuses on the supply of oil from the refineries of Romania. Without the flow of "black gold", Germany's doom is sealed.

On the one hand, there are night raids by Stratan's gang, on the other - endless official extortion, respectfully referred to as a "state loan", when the chairman of the collective farm, Maria Josan, groping the trigger of a revolver, calls on hard workers to respond to the call of the Motherland...
