The submarine and surface fleet of the USSR is the country's pride.

Submariners, who spend months in the depths of the ocean, face particularly challenging circumstances. The stories of these young sailors, their commanders, and the reasons behind their choice of this courageous profession shed light on their character development and post-service lives.
A young man is forced to spend a few days with his father in law.
