Zakar is a harsh world: terrible storms and cold, rain and hail. Two peoples live here: Yurts and Raskis. There is irreconcilable hostility between them. Elossa, the girl of Yurt, goes on a pilgrimage. On the road she meets Stans, Rasky's young man. Together they experience exciting adventures and, having gone through all the trials, find the cause of the enmity of their peoples and the path to their reconciliation.
