The story of Greek patriots' struggle against the Nazi invaders in May 1941, when German troops landed on the island of Crete. Fleeing the Germans, seven people, completely different in their views and personalities, come together: communist Memos, who has escaped from prison; military doctor Kimon, fleeing from the hospital; nurse Alika and nurse Krinjo, a gendarme; and two soldiers—a Greek and a New Zealander who has fallen behind.

The young soldier Vasily Lemekhov has returned from the hospital and met a young woman Natasha in Chisinau.

The civil war separated families on opposite sides of the barricades. How to understand this situation for a young girl who is being raised by a rich aunt, while her father leads a partisan detachment.

Based on A.P. Chekhov's story.
