Belorussia, summer 1942. The war has moved on, far off to the east. The life of a small town where the German authorities of the region have set themselves up is getting back to "normal". The Germans study Russian, flirt with the local girls, the women wash their clothes and feed them. They have to carry on somehow... But suddenly the teenage son of the film's heroine decides to run away to the partisans and blows up a German train so that they could accept him. He gets caught and the Germans have to execute him in order "to teach others a lesson". That's the order and it can't be disobeyed. The Germans know that this execution will bring an end to their peaceful lives. The local commandant understands this better than anyone as he is already involved in a close relationship with the boy's mother. But he can't ignore an order from his commanders...

With the help of Rumba, Fedor discovers a mined section of the road and warns the senior in rank - junior lieutenant Svetlana. But the girl, carried away by flirting with the lieutenant colonel, forgets to block the road, and a Soviet tank is blown up on a mine. Fyodor, who is in love with Svetlana, takes the blame - Fidelity and devotion, high patriotism, a sense of duty and responsibility to his own conscience, love and friendship - these are the moral and human concepts that with honor will carry through the harsh military and life trials of Fedor Chaklun, Sveta, Tonya and other characters of the film story are ordinary liberating armies. The film is dedicated to them and to many of those who, having liberated their native land, did not live to the day of the Great Victory, and to those who came to Berlin with battles.
