The distant year 1942... But for young searchers it opens up like “yesterday” with eerie details... During the holidays, a detachment of boys moves into the forest near Mount Gaiman, where the bloody battles for the liberation of the North Caucasus took place. Sashka finds a diary where an unknown soldier describes military reality. The handwritten pages show only a few days in the life of a soldier, but a thousand deaths, torments, and “manly” tears well up before his eyes. War does not select victims based on nationality or religion; it is merciless towards everyone without prejudice. Therefore, everyone defends the Motherland TOGETHER, even at the cost of their own lives.
