Plot

In the bleak aftermath of 1946, a brave soldier sires an unborn child before succumbing to the cruel hands of death. Fast forward to 1952, within the rhythmic chug of a train, this child, Sanya, and his doting mother, Katya, cross paths with an enigmatic soldier whose charm is as captivating as his appearance. He wins Katya's heart and soon, they masquerade as a family, ensconced in a welcoming rooming house where the soldier’s good looks and generosity make him a beloved figure. As Sanya navigates life under the soldier’s tutelage, learning lessons of resilience and unyielding ambition, Katya finds herself irreversibly enamored with this man, Tolyan. However, when Tolyan's true intentions for their humble abode come to light, their seemingly idyllic life starts to fracture. This revelation propels them into a relentless cycle of evasion that threatens Katya's safety, Tolyan's freedom, and the innocence of Sanya's trust. Will they endure the unforgiving trials ahead or will their makeshift family crumble under the weight of deception and desperate survival?
