Synopsis
L'histoire poignante de deux jumeaux élevés par leur grand-mère dans un village frontalier et qui s'efforcent de survivre dans un monde sans pitié. Ils doivent apprendre par eux-mêmes tout ce qui est nécessaire à leur survie. Isolés, affamés et frigorifiés, ils tiennent leur journal. Ils notent ce qu'ils ont vu, ce qu'ils ont entendu, ce qu'ils ont fait, ce qu'ils ont appris. Ils restent certes en vie, mais leur cœur et leur corps s'endurcissent.Actors

It is one of the last days before the capitulation of the German army in May 1945. The setting is the Baltic coast in Pomerania. A unit of the Soviet army, comprising seven people and led by a captain nicknamed "Gorynych" ("dragon") (Alexei Guskov) by his companions, has left for reconnaissance and observation of the movements of the retreating Germans. The group is housed in a large building, a shelter for orphaned girls. A German Army Wehrmacht detachment was situated close by, waiting transport for evacuation by sea to Denmark, where surrender to the British was planned. Both parties understand that the war is almost over; they do not want to engage each other and choose to wait things out. But resistance is not over for a teenage orphan Peter (Paul Wenzel), who was indoctrinated in the "no surrender" tradition of National Socialism. Soviet intelligence officers disarm him and patiently try to neutralize his youthful aggression.
