Overview
The film covers the heroic defence of the Brest Fortress, which was attacked during the first strike of German invaders on June 22 1941. The story describes the events of the first days of the defence, including the three main resistance zones, headed by the regiment commander, Pyotr Mikhailovich Gavrilov, the commissar Efim Moiseevich Fomin and the head of the 9th frontier outpost, Andrey Mitrofanovich Kizhevatov. Many years later veteran Alexander Akimov again recalls the memories of the time, when he, then a 15 year old Sasha Akimov was deeply in love with the beautiful Anya and suddenly found himself in the middle of the bloody events of war.

In his desperate quest to find his girlfriend lost in the war, a young trumpeter from the Brest Fortress orchestra must battle through hell. He actively participates in and survives the horrors of the combat during his search. When you are watching this film, you are instantly transported to the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic in the summer of 1941, thanks to the film's incredibly realistic scenes based on true events. However, it conveys more than just the battle; it shows the profound devastation that remained.
