Lyudmila Yulova

Tanya raises two children alone during the day and works as a taxi driver at night. Everything changes when she learns about a serious diagnosis. Now she is worried about only one thing: who will the children stay with if the disease turns out to be stronger? Tanya is not ready to entrust them to unreliable relatives and decides to find a worthy man, marry him to herself, so that if something happens, he will take care of the children. The only person with whom Tanya shares her thoughts is her doctor. Suddenly the plan works, and at some point there are too many applicants.

Based on real events. November 1943. The Nazis bring a new batch of Soviet orphans to Vyritsa, where a so-called "children's shelter" is set up in a former pioneer camp. The conditions here are unbearable: cold, hunger, forced labor, a punishment cell for disobedience, and execution for attempting to escape. But the worst thing is that children are used as blood donors for wounded Germans. Despite all the horror and inconceivability of what is happening, having united, the young heroes find the strength and courage to resist and decide to escape.
