Yelizaveta Khutornaya

The German conquerors are above nothing, not even the slaughter of small children, to break the spirit of their Soviet captives. Suffering more than most is Olena, a Soviet partisan who returns to the village to bear her child, only to endure the cruelest of arbitrary tortures at the hands of the Nazis.

The film uses motifs from V. Mayakovsky's script "Как поживаете?" - about the struggle against philistinism in everyday life.
