While in Europe, during the second half of the 19th century bourgeois revolutions take place, Macedonia is still a part of the confirmed feudal empire of Turkey. Macedonian people are exposed to the violence of the Turk's feudal landowners.

On the estate of one of the many Bays in Macedonia, a lot of "his" peasants work for him, for Osman Bay. It is harvest time. The Bay pursues a Turk, who because of his progressive ideas has to be punished. The ethnic Macedonian shepherd Spas helps him to escape. The hunt for the escaped Turk leads the Turkish soldiers to the harvesters. The ethnic Macedonian peasant girl Cveta is also among them. Her beauty cannot help but be noticed by the Bay. Osman Bay kidnaps the girl. He brings her into his caravan among the other women of his harem. The promise of easy life as one of his wives is not enough to persuade Cveta to change her religion and give up her relatives. Her peasant fellows, lead by the priest and the shepherd Spase, as well as by her beloved look for her release.
