Ukrainian opera by M. Verykivsky based on Taras Shevchenko's eponymous poem.

A young girl, seduced by a lancer, leaves her illegitimate son with a
childless family. She then becomes their servant and a part of her son's
life.

The film is a treasure trove of folk art traditions, traditional costumes,
