The film won the 1973 Venice International Film Festival Memorial Award, the All-Soviet Film Festival Award, and in 1975 won the Lenin Prize.
In the summer of 1942 Warrant Officer Vaskov led a platoon of quadruple anti-aircraft gunners stationed in a village near a small station. One day, squad leader Lida found the airborne German troops in the woods not far away. Vaskov led a small team to search the enemy, including Lisa, Galka, Lida, Sonia, Rania, and other five girls. The team members sacrificed heroically, and Lida, who was seriously injured, was not far away from the warrant officer who entrusted his son to him and then committed suicide. The grief-stricken Vaskov annihilated the enemy's barracks in one fell swoop, and honorably completed the task to be rescued. Years later, Vaskov took Lida's son, now an officer, to the grove where his mother died, and expressed deep respect for all the female soldiers.
