Three young army members come to congratulate a veteran of the Great Patriotic War on the holiday. He shares memories of his wartime childhood in Siberia, telling stories about the small and big feats of his friends.

This is a story of Nick, a 5th grader of Donetsk school, who stays in the classroom during the bombardment. All alone with his fear he suddenly finds the support. The most common school board becomes a portal to the past. Nick meets the same little boy, but from 1941. They both are locked in the school under fire, and both want to live, be happy and enjoy the childhood.
