The film shows a wedding in the forest, which acts as a form of cultural defiance, maintaining Jewish tradition in the face of annihilation.

The movie features intense conflict between the brothers—Tuvia, who prioritizes saving as many lives as possible, and Zus (Liev Schreiber), who is more focused on fighting the Nazis.
