Inscription: “Praise the hands that smell like bread.” A brass band plays. Combine harvesters ride in a Niva combine. Workers enter the collective farm territory. They are welcomed by pioneers. Speech by party committee secretary Mykola Pavlovych Sushko. Speech by the head of the collective farm, Ivan Pylypets. Members of the presidium are adorned with rye wreaths. The choir performs with accordion accompaniment. Guests of the festival are offered a loaf of bread. Portraits of collective farm workers.

The soundtrack of the film consists of: a voice-over narration by Halyna (Kozel) Antonenko. Comments by people in the frame, read by Dmytro Kozel. Marching tunes and folk songs.
