The action takes place in the summer of 1943, in the midst of the Battle of Kursk. The main character, a German language teacher Lyubov, lives in a small once occupied Kursk village. The war burned out all her feelings, took her husband and everyone who was dear to her.
The last hope is a son who serves in the Red Army, but Lyuba finds out that he was also killed in captivity, thrown into a road ditch. She decides to go after her son's body to bury him, but secretly hopes for something more: it seems to her that she can resurrect her son if she takes his body to the forest outside the village.
