Plot
The plot tells of the events of autumn 1943 on the southern fronts of the German-Soviet war. The film differs from its peers in that for the first time viewers of the military chronicle heard the "living voices" of soldiers, a huge number of philosophical generalizations written by O. Dovzhenko in the form of lyrical reflections and voiced by Leonid Khmara.
The film includes footage of the trophy German newsreel.
