Her daughter Lina decides to bury her according to the Christian tradition on the third day and it happens to be on the First of May. The chairman of the local group of activists, supporter of revival of the Soviet Union, is outraged by this decision and forces Lina to bury her mother on the other day. The question is that in a village (especially in its group of activists) it is used to celebrate the First of May with a special May party.
