This is the story of Sejr, a tenant farmer, and his conflict with the dictatorial lord who stubbornly refuses to grant him the farm he needs in order to get married. However, the nobility and the peasants find common ground when a common enemy arises: the Robbers, a group of thieves who kill and rape, but also call for rebellion against those in power.
