Plot synopsis
The film is about the Russian officer, who in peaceful time, having excellent education in the field of higher military justice, sacrificed his life. 35-year old Konstantin Vasiliev tried to safe hostages, among whom were women and children. He hurried to live, wrote poems, liked good music. He had a little daughter. Being broad-shouldered and with open heart, Kostya reminded Ilya Muromets. Without any arguments he went there, where the misfortune came. The phrase “to put one’s heart for the sake of the friend” that we gladly use so often, found deep, sacrificial, real meaning in the act of courage of the Russian warrior Konstantin Vasiliev.
