Veronica (Tatiana Samoilova) is madly in love with her fiance, Boris (Alexei Batalov), who departs for the front to do his patriotic duty for the war effort. The film looks at impact of the war on the participants: the lovers who fail to say their farewells prior to Boris' departure through unfortunate circumstances; his surgeon father who has to continue caring for his patients; and the shifty cousin trying to avoid the conflict altogether. The story unravels to depict a poignant portrayal of blameless individuals doing their best to survive the travails of tragedy and hardship. The film's compelling narrative is complemented by brilliant cinematography, which was way ahead of its time.
