A film version of the historical legend about the power of human passions revived in the frescoes of the Boyana Church (1295) - one of the oldest monuments of European Renaissance. Kaloyan, the ruler of Sredets, has built a new church to celebrate his name. A famous master from Tarnovo is invited to paint the frescoes. A sudden illness forces the master to send his best pupil Ilia instead. The icon-painters from Sredets receive the young master with mistrust. When he finishes his work, everyone understands that the pupil has surpassed not only his teacher.
