A romantic story based on the Ural fairytales. The chiefs of two brotherly peoples living in the lands of the Southern Urals had a son - the rich man Altynduga and a daughter - the beautiful Ai. One day they met and fell in love with each other. Meanwhile, the ruler of the kingdom of evil, Katil-Badtsha, and the insidious sorceress Myasekai quarreled their peoples by cunning and deceit in order to rob and enslave them. So the lovers were separated.
The story of five Bashkirs who have to go through two wars - the Russian-Swedish and the Patriotic War of 1812. The French called them Northern Cupids in honor of the deity of love, Cupid, because the horsemen were armed with bows and arrows. They unexpectedly attacked the enemy and just as sharply went to the rear, remaining elusive.
