Lexo and Nodar, two house painters, fall in love with Nina, a resident of the house they are painting. In order to keep Nodar out of his way, Lexo suggests that he learn to become a pilot at flying school, but doesn’t know that Nina works as a flight instructor. Lexo pretends to be an experienced pilot. After rescuing a passenger on a damaged plane, Lexo decides to become a professional pilot.

Lexo and Nodar are working on the repainting the apartment building. They spend the whole day hanging from the roof. This is how they get to know the girl living in this house and both try to get her attention. Their organization receives the flight courses as a gift and Lexo recommends Nodar to eliminate the rival. But in the Aeroclub, Nodar will meet that very daughter, Nina, who is a flight instructor. Nodar studies passionately and soon becomes a pilot. In parallel, Lexo tries his best to interest Nina and pretends to be a pilot as well.

In 1917, the people of the Russian Empire are no longer willing to fight Germany, but the bourgeois government of Alexander Kerensky is unwilling to defy its imperialist allies and stop the war. Only Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik Party is resolute in calling for peace. In the front, the soldiers of one battalion elect three delegates to travel to St. Petersburg with donations the troops collected for the Pravda newspaper: Gudushauri, Panasiuk and Ershov. The three arrive in the capital and describe the horrendous conditions in which the soldiers live to Joseph Stalin, Lenin's trusted aid and colleague. They join the Bolsheviks and take part in the storming of the Winter Palace, led by Stalin and Lenin. Stalin announces that the great dawn of revolution has broken.
