The film presents the third issue of the satirical film magazine Zhakan, focusing on the condition of collective farms and rural life in the Chernihiv region:
1) 00:00:13 - 00:02:49 — Award ceremony for combine operators. Bread factory complex — grain lies in puddles in the yard. A queue forms outside the grocery store. Bread factory workers on the conveyor line. Sowing operations in the field. Background music: Bread Is the Head of All (Хлеб - всему голова) and Bread, Salt, Loaf! (Хліб, сіль, коровай!).
2) 00:02:50 - 00:03:48 — Shevchenko collective farm. Rural roads filled with mud and puddles. A truck driver wades through water near a gas station. Other drivers wear rubber boots. Women carry buckets on shoulder yokes. Garbage and makeshift landfills.
