The beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The unit is retreating, pursued by German troops. To gain a foothold on a dominant height, the soldiers need to buy some time. An old soldier, a participant of the First World War, is called in to provide it.
The cycle “”About people and about the war”” is a collection of short stories based on the stories of people who experienced the hardships of wartime. These are tragic, heroic or even ironic cases that happened to boys and girls during the war of 1941-1945. They were young and beautiful guys who had dreams, plans, love, happiness and creativity ahead of them. But the war intervened.
