Soldier Vasily with the call sign "Bernes" is going on vacation to Donetsk. But on the way to the "loaf" on which he is riding, a shell hits and seriously injures a man. Overcoming pain and fear, Bernes crawls through the minefield to his own. Meanwhile, his family is waiting for him in Donetsk — his wife and little daughter, who recently enrolled in a music school. Despite the shelling of a peaceful city, the girl learns to sing and waits for a holiday — the day when her father returns home.
