This movie is based on a novel by Boris Vasiliev and describes life in a small Russian provincial town in 1940 - one year before Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The main characters of the film are ordinary Soviet high school students. They study in the Soviet school, try to be correct and ideological Komsomol activists. But not always the “correctness” suggested by the teachers coincides with the inner convictions of young souls - it is difficult for them to come to terms with the fact that their relatives and loved ones are suddenly “enemies of the people”.

Based on the play of the same name by Ion Druta. The play tells the story of the villagers Calin Ababia, whose hard life was spent in a Moldovan village, and Mihai Gruia, who made a brilliant career in the city.
