We calculate the ground-state wave functions for a system of multicomponent strongly interacting fermions. We show that it is a state with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry that discribes a phase with a finite density of chiral complexes. The number of particles constituting a complex depends on the number of fermion components. For example, in the case of two-component electrons (spin), the condensate is built of four-particle complexes consisting of two ``right'' electrons and two ``left'' holes with the opposite spins.
