Based on the Slavic folktale, this film shows what really happened while peasants were engaged in the cultivation of vegetables. It also speaks about property, collaboration and betrayal.

Zgodba temelji na slovanski ljudski pripovedki in film prikazuje, kaj se je v resnici zgodilo, medtem ko so kmetje pridelovali zelenjavo. Govori tudi o lastnini, sodelovanju in izdajstvu.
