Agree, it is unpleasant when you are not noticed: pushed on the street, ignored in the theater, looked through. As if on purpose! And the pretty girl Elizaveta lives like this for as long as she can remember. Until one day she gets a magic yellow cloak from an unusual studio. Now Liza is finally visible to everyone, but is this really what she wanted?

Tiny Soviet village by the sea, in the years before the Second World War... A very young girl, Vera, falls madly in love with an older military officer who is visiting from out of town. She leaves her home and family to live with him in various military posts where he serves with the army. Through the difficulties of army life, and years of war, her love for this older man survives, and she gives herself completely without reservation. This film is about friendship, loss, survival, loyalty, and the wonderful gift of unconditional love, which is only given to a few.
