The film takes place in 1905, in the fictional village of Anatevka, a typical shtetl somewhere in Ukraine, part of the Pale of Settlement in Imperial Russia.

Motel is also very poor and is saving money to buy a sewing machine to show Tevye that he is able to support a wife.

On his way home, Tevye meets the local Constable who warns him that a pogrom (calling it an "unofficial demonstration") by a gang of thugs will take place in Anateveka in the near future.
