In the village of Lavci, in the vicinity of Bitola which is occupied by the Bulgarian Fascist Troops, arrives Todor Angelov, known as Daskalot (the Teacher), a communist and leader of the resistance against the occupiers. However, one of the villagers, a snitch, informs the chief of the Bulgarian police about the Teacher’s whereabouts, and the soldiers immediately come to the village. The villagers, on the other hand, find all kinds of ways to outwit the enemy and not betray their leader.
