The plot revolves around two brothers who were thrown into the maelstrom of war. The brothers are of different nationalities, one is Russian, the other a Buryat. They were brought up by the same father. They went to the front. 1942. Confident in his impending victory German troops conduct a rapid advance on Stalingrad.
