Premier jour de la Première Guerre mondiale. Des hassidim, venant en charrettes d’une petite ville de Galicie sont accueillis par le vieux Tag, esprit frondeur, et sa famille dans son auberge (austeria signifie auberge). En carrosse, arrive une Juive fréquentant les milieux aisés de Vienne. Elle fuit et essaie de persuader l’aubergiste de venir avec elle. Il refuse et reste avec sa belle-fille et sa petite-fille qui craignent un pogrom. La servante ukrainienne Jewdocha informe que les Cosaques approchent (nous sommes à proximité de la frontière russe). Une bataille se déroule non loin de l'auberge. D'autres fuyards qui étaient passés auparavant reviennent finalement s'abriter à l'auberge le soir. Parmi eux, le jeune Bum qui porte dans ses bras le corps de sa bien-aimée Asia. Les parents d'Asia et de Bum sont là aussi. Un tzadik (« juste » en hébreu) de Zydaczewo s'arrête lui aussi à l'auberge. Les hassidim se mettent à danser.
