Plot

The events depicted in the film take place during the Winter War of 1939–1940. A team of three Soviet scouts, led by Red Army soldier Boykov, infiltrates enemy lines and hides in the attic of a farmhouse temporarily abandoned by Finnish forces. From their concealed position, they establish telephone communication with their headquarters.

However, Finnish troops unexpectedly arrive and begin hurriedly setting up artillery positions. A fierce skirmish ensues between the scouts and the Finnish soldiers. Boykov remains in the attic, defending himself against the enemy while skillfully directing his group's artillery fire. Despite his efforts, he sustains a severe injury during the intense battle.
