The film combines the actors' acting and hand-drawn animation. The story in the film is told in the first person: an elderly man tells his life story to the children sitting in the hall. In a collision with himself when he was a young horseman, and with the direct reaction of children to his story, the main theme of the cartoon is revealed — love for his native land.
