Based on real events. November 1943. The Nazis bring a new batch of Soviet orphans to Vyritsa, where a so-called "children's shelter" is set up in a former pioneer camp. The conditions here are unbearable: cold, hunger, forced labor, a punishment cell for disobedience, and execution for attempting to escape. But the worst thing is that children are used as blood donors for wounded Germans. Despite all the horror and inconceivability of what is happening, having united, the young heroes find the strength and courage to resist and decide to escape.

The year is 1956. Yuri Knorozov arrives in Copenhagen to prove to the world community the correctness of his deciphering of the Maya script and to refute the myths about the "apocalypse" allegedly predicted by their calendar. Its opening threatens the interests of a number of foreign countries. Against the background of scientific intrigues, he meets the journalist Mercedes, who awakens memories of her first love, but in reality is connected with a plan by foreign intelligence services to discredit the scientist.
