On December 14, 1825, the military units of the Russian army were ordered to swear their allegiance to new czar Nicholas I. However, the young officers abhorred this idea and raised their regiments to bring democracy to the country. However, this heroic feat was crushed; many instigators were executed, with others sent to hard labor in Siberia. This remarkable film chronicles these convicted officers and their wives who left aristocratic families and comfortable lifestyles for a world that challenged their bodies and souls.
