The father of the six-year-old Kolya is a criminal; he does not live with his family and only sometimes takes his little son out into nature. As he is still very young, the boy does not understand: he is completely enamoured with his father and imitates him in his own way, thus defending his love. For the spectator this is a drama; for the boy a dream — light and sincere.

Soldiers and commanders of the Anvar Special Forces Unit are advancing at the Kursk front. Together with their comrades-in-arms they are pushing the enemy back to Russia's borders.

And there is not a shadow of doubt that a Russian warrior neither seeks revenge nor loots. He saves people, his country, and normal life itself.

The story of the growing-up of a teenager unfolds against the background of a town lost in the steppe. A little, scared man can become big when he can understand and forgive the enemy.
