The events in the film unfold rapidly within a single day. On 8 March 1942, a small detachment of Soviet soldiers on its way back from the mission was destined to enter into an unequal battle...

This is a film about hope. Hope that dies a second after the last heartbeat of every soldier. None of them was born a hero. None of them wanted to die. None of them knew how that day would end...
