Based on real events.
November 1943. The Fascists are bringing a new batch of Soviet orphans to Vyritsa, where a so-called "orphanage" has been set up in a former pioneer camp. The conditions here are unbearable: cold, hunger, forced labor, punishment cells for disobedience, and shooting for trying to escape. But the scariest thing is that children are used here as blood donors for wounded Germans... Despite all the horror and unthinkability of what is happening, the young heroes come together and find the strength and courage to resist and decide to escape.
