Based on Vyacheslav Kondratiev’s story “Likhobory”. In the autumn of 1939 Viktor Somov is called up for military service in the Far East and at the end of 1941 his battalion is sent to defend Moscow. The military echelon arrives in the capital. Victor manages to put a phone call to his native village of Likhobory near Moscow. He arranges to meet his mother and his girlfriend. But it is impossible because of the curfew, so the commander of the echelon takes the risk and permits Somov to go home. This meeting with the people dear to him fills Viktor with the certainty that in Spring he will come home in triumph.
