It often goes onto a steep cliff and is inspired by the surrounding harmony and prosperity.
Living in a distant village makes it impossible to avoid civic debt. The guy is drafted into the army, where he will have to get acquainted with a separate side of human existence. Strict discipline and life in the barracks cannot force Veleslav to violate his principles, but fate throws up difficulties.
