Based on Vasily Grossman's short story, it tells the story of a female Red Army commissar who is forced to stay with a Jewish family near the frontlines of the battle between the Red and White Armies as she waits to give birth. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the film's plot and production history, as well as the artistic vision of its director, Aleksandr Askoldov. It also explores how viewers can trace the personal crises endured by Askoldov in the years leading up to the film in the film itself.
