Western frontiers of the USSR, 1942. The region is under German occupation, and local partisans are fighting a brutal resistance campaign. A train is derailed not far from the village, where Sushenya, a rail worker, lives with his family. The innocent Sushenya is arrested with a group of saboteurs, but the German officer decides not to hang him with the others and sets him free. Rumors of Sushenya`s treason spread quickly, and partisans Burov and Voitik arrive from the forest to get their revenge. As the partisans lead their victim through the forest, they are ambushed, and Sushenya finds himself facing his wounded enemy.
