The love story of Imam Shamil's son Dzhamalutdin and Lisa Olenina against the background of the dramatic events of Russian military history in the first half of the 19th century. Jamalutdin went down in history as "the great hostage" and the film is an attempt to answer the question: hostage to great politics or great love. The historical context of the decline of the Nicholas era, against which the story of love and betrayal, honour and duty, service to the fatherland and fidelity to a given word unfolds, will be key to the film.
