Kino haqida
The plot takes place in 1942–1943, during the defense of Stalingrad. The Jew Victor Shtrum is a talented nuclear physicist working at one of the country's institutes to create an atomic bomb. At this time, Strum's relatives died in Hitler's camps and dungeons of the NKVD, and persecution began against him. Ixtirochini faqat Stalinning o'zi qiziqqan ilmiy aqligina qutqara oladi. Davlatga atom bombasi kabi kuchli qurol kerak. Olim tanlashi kerak: ilmga sodiq qolish va “millat yetakchisi” uchun ishlash yoki uning da’vatidan voz kechib, halok bo‘lish.
