In the center of the film is a powerful, peculiar, talented Russian man, the largest timber merchant Yegor Bulychyov. He is experiencing a tragic discord with himself, with the world that surrounds him, with great social injustice, to which his whole life has been given. The idea of the film is to determine the purpose and meaning of the existence of the human person, consider its polysyllabic and versatile connections with the world.
