The Lebyazhyi Gorki Collective Farm, in the early 1930s: Gerasim Platonovich appears to be a dedicated livestock breeder on what was once his own property, but which has become a collective farm after the Bolshevik Revolution and Civil War. In fact, he has not abandoned his kulak roots and is determined to destroy the farm from within. Knowing full well that the collective has a severe shortage of animal feed, he deliberately breeds an enormous number of pigs. His goal is to exhaust the farm's resources, plunge the workers into despair, and break their faith in collectivization. His wife, Varvara, however, is fully dedicated to Soviet power and when she finds out what she's married to, the manure will hit the fan.
