Mikhail Marfin

Major of the border service Konstantin Kudin serves at the outpost where his father died. A devoted, perceptive, and honest commander, he regularly refuses promotions, which displeases his wife. During a border patrol, Kudin discovers a stone containing spy equipment and thwarts the plans of several groups of criminals: the local businessman Tyurin, who is engaged in drug smuggling; his patron among the border guards; and a group of terrorists planning a terrorist attack in Minsk. In fulfilling his duty, Kudin not only risks his own life but also puts his family members at risk.

The action of the new film unfolds against the backdrop of the collapse of the USSR. Border guard officer Anton Pekarsky, having gone through the war in Afghanistan and served ten years on the border in Central Asia, becomes unnecessary to the state that is falling apart and returns to his native Belarus. However, the knowledge and loyalty to duty of the experienced border guard turn out to be in demand in his homeland, where new national border protection services are being established.
