In 1950, Antonina (Lyudmila Motornaya) is a combine driver supporting her husband (Vyacheslav Batrakov), a legless war veteran, and her two young children, one of whom narrates the story as an adult. When a high district administrator makes an official visit to the farm, Antonina is awarded a velvet flag for her combine driving prowess. Once the fetish - the red banner - settles into the house, it totally derails family happiness. The fragile plush is a tasty treat for the mice, and Antonina is forced to mend the banner repeatedly in order to conceal her shame from her neighbors. The velvet banner soon becomes an obsession for Antonina, who has to work extra time to justify her claims to being the best worker and her right to hold on to the banner.
