In Moscow before the outbreak of World War II, Veronica and Boris are happily in love. Suddenly Russia comes under attack by Germany - and Boris has to leave to fight without saying goodbye. When Veronica turns up to meet him in their usual spot and he fails to appear, she is heartbroken. Boris’ cousin tries to take his place in a miserable Veronica’s affections, but even though she finds it harder and harder to resist, she never forgets about Boris. This poignant, simple tale shows the horrors of war both for those fighting, and those left behind.
