A little-known page in the history of the great Patriotic war. Hard days of the occupation of Soviet Karelia by the Finns. The war was the hardest test for everyone, but especially for children. The story is based on the memories of young prisoners of Finnish migrant camps.

The love story of the son of Imam Shamil Jamalutdin and Lisa Olenina against the backdrop of the dramatic events of the military history of Russia in the first half of the 19th century. Jamalutdin went down in history as a "great hostage", and the film is an attempt to answer the question: a hostage of big politics or big love. The historical context of the decline of the Nikolaev era, against which the story of love and betrayal, honor and duty, service to the motherland and loyalty to this word unfolds, will become the key to the film.
