In July 1942 the exhausted Soviet army were retreating toward Stalingrad whilst desperately trying to hold their ground in front of the rampaging German war machine, which had the advantage because of Stalin's failure to heed the warnings that Hitler was going to invade. The loss of Soviet life in the campaign was legion but the film concentrates on the remnants of one shattered regiment and its individual soldiers' thoughts and fears in the face of impending annihilation, not only of themselves but Mother Russia too. The depictions of war and destruction are powerfully shot, bringing home to the viewer not only the inhumanity and waste wrought by evil endeavours but also the personal predicaments of the individual characters forced to participate in a frantic fight for survival.
