The film, based on the scenario of the St. Petersburg writer Anatoly Agrafenin, is dedicated to journalists-newsmen of besieged Leningrad. Overcoming incredible difficulties and trials, journalists and printers managed to ensure the publication of newspapers in the besieged city, which were published daily, as before the war. Newspapers carried people information about the situation on the fronts, about how fighting Leningrad lives, instilled confidence in the inevitable victory over the enemy. It is no coincidence that the newspaper word in those days was equated with bread.
