Description

The story is based on a true account. In 1942, the former ballet master of the House of Pioneers, Lieutenant Korbut of a mortar unit, is tasked with organizing an agitation brigade. In besieged Leningrad, he gathers a group of his former students—weak, hungry, half-alive sixteen-year-old boys and girls—who ride to the front.
