The film describes how the romantic views of war as pictured in the Soviet war film industry were actually far different from the harsh realities of front line warfare.
Plot
Major Lopatin (played by actor Yuri Nikulin) is a military journalist during World War II, who goes back to his hometown of Tashkent (Uzbekistan) in Middle Asia at the end of 1942 to spend a 20-day leave following the Battle of Stalingrad and to see the shooting of a film based on his wartime articles he has written. There he is romantically involved with a woman named Nina (played by Ludmila Gurchenko).
Lopatin realizes that the romanticized views of warfare on the home front are vastly different from the realities he had encountered.[3]
Production
The film was based on the novel and screenplay of Konstantin Simonov (1915-1979), a military journalist who wrote the famous poem "Wait for me" during World War II in 1941.
The film was mostly shot in black and white, or very muted color, as looking aged to be visually closed to that wartime.
