A 17-year-old Hungarian youth finds himself in Russian territory after fleeing from the Nazis in this World War II drama. He is placed with a wounded Soviet soldier and ordered to tend to the cattle. The two become good friends, but the soldier's health begins to fail. In a desperate attempt to save his new friend, the Hungarian dons a Soviet Army uniform and brings medical help, but the doctor arrives too late and the young soldier dies. Back in Hungary, things don't get any better, as the teen is beaten up by his own people for wearing a Soviet uniform.
