He makes his way back to St. Petersburg, now Leningrad, a man out of time who struggles to make sense of the new society brought about by the revolution.

This war drama tells the story of a unique operation carried out by the Red Army's tank corps. It focuses on the military skills and heroic deeds of the tank crews.
