Synopsis: It is the summer of 1915 and Martins and his loved Elza are about to get married. But war deals them another cards. The Czar has given the order to form volunteer Latvian rifleman regiments to defend the Russian empire, and consequently Latvia as a part of it, from German forces. It's the first time in 700 years when Latvians have their own military forces with their own commanders, they are eager to defend their homes against Teutonic invaders. Many Latvians join the forces, Martins and few of his close friends too, leaving Elza with a promise to return soon and marry her. The film dramatizes November 11, 1919 - a crucial date in the battle for Latvian independence.
