The film is about what children and teenagers of besieged Leningrad survived. 14 surviving heroes and dozens of those for whom only lines of diaries and signatures for children's drawings can now speak, word by word, minute by minute, story after story, revive the siege of memory. What did people actually feel in the besieged city? Which of what we know about the blockade is true, and what is a myth, a stamp from a history textbook? The authors of the film with the help of video comparisons, reconstructions return modern St. Petersburg to the terrible time of the blockade, combining history with momentary.
Directed by Katerina Gordeeva, Sergey Nurmamed
