The story follows Pavel Akimov, a brave and battle-hardened battalion commander, and Anichka Belozyorova, a young interpreter. Their love blossomed during the Great Patriotic War, and they married amidst the chaos of battle. However, just as their lives were set to flourish in happiness, the brutal war shattered their dreams. Tragically, Pavel never got to see his daughter, Katya. Like a sacred hymn and a powerful anti-war protest, Kazakevich’s story reflects the highest human emotions and ideals.
