L'histoire commence en 1918. Vassili Goubanov, un jeune communiste démobilisé arrive au village de Zagora où le pouvoir soviétique projette à construire une nouvelle centrale électrique. Il est hébergé par Fiodor et Aniuta Fokine, un couple de paysans illettrés qui le considèrent avec méfiance. Nommé responsable de quincaillerie Vassili se rend à Moscou pour se procurer des clous. Il fait le tour des fournisseurs, sans succès. Prêt à rentrer à Zagora il passe au Kremlin chercher son supérieur, le camarade Zimni. Il le trouve dans la salle de réunion écoutant un exposé de Vladimir Lénine. Dans la foulée Vassili parle de son souci au chef prolétarien et Lénine en passant plusieurs coups de téléphone réussit à trouver les clous, se montrant ainsi conscient de problèmes d'un simple travailleur. De retour au village Vassili trouve son hôtesse Aniuta seule. Une conversation s'engage et une sympathie réciproque naît entre eux. Mais bientôt Stepan, un soupirant éconduit d'Aniuta, répand la rumeur sur son infidélité et la jeune femme quitte le village.
