Eight Russian officers are captured during the Russo-Japanese War. They sit in a cramped basement with no windows and no information from outside. What will happen to them next? How is military action developing? There is no answer to any of these questions. And then, once again a day, several Japanese military men appear in the room, who choose one of the prisoners and take them away. No one else will see their comrade and will not know about his fate. What happens to them up there? In this tragic story, there is betrayal, disappointment, and love for the Motherland.
