Following a theatrical premiere, a group of performers gathers at a bar to celebrate. Their joyous atmosphere is shattered by the arrival of a drunken Soviet officer who unexpectedly offers to sell petrol. Sensing the underlying tension, hidden resentments, and anxieties of those present, he revels in disrupting the celebration. The situation escalates when he draws his pistol, triggering a sudden and unexpected rebellion as the bar patrons transform into defiant freedom fighters against the Russian occupation.
