Plot
[edit ]The film is set on the eve of the 1905 Revolution. Tensions rise at the Bardin factory, where workers demand the dismissal of a cruel foreman. The factory director, Bardin's partner Skrobotov, dismisses the workers' demands. In retaliation, the factory owners shut down operations and call in soldiers to suppress dissent.
