Based on A. N. Tolstoy's novel "Peter I" (1945) and continuation of the film "Peter's Youth" (1980). At the end of the 17th century, Russia suffered huge losses in trade because it had no access to the sea. The young Peter I begins the construction of the Russian fleet in Voronezh and takes the Azov fortress. At this time, dissatisfaction with the rule of the young monarch is brewing among the courtiers.
