Plot synopsis
The military blockade of Leningrad by German, Finnish and Spanish troops with the participation of volunteers from North Africa, France, Italy, Poland and other countries lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944 - 872 days. The war is getting further and further away from us. It is incomprehensible to us, living now, how it was possible to survive in those conditions? And not just survive, but act, work, invent, create? The answer is always the same - Faith, Hope, Love ... with them a person reaches the limits of his capabilities. We are alive because of them. For those who died - their martyrdom. Those who survived - their feat.
