From the very pages of life itself!
During World War II, earnest young Russian soldier Alyosha Skvortsov is rewarded with a short leave of absence for performing a heroic deed on the battlefield. Feeling homesick, he decides to visit his mother.

In his tour of a country devastated by war, he struggles to keep hope alive.
