The series "And There Was War" is a Russian war drama set in June 1941. The entire country is shaken by the terrible news: war has begun at dawn. The Motherland needs defenders. Among the conscripts are two young village boys who had very different expectations for their graduation. One of the heroes has already reached the age of majority, so he receives his draft notice among the first. However, he is not eager to go to war; instead, he dreams of simply living and loving. On the other hand, the second boy goes to the front on his own, even though he is only 17 years old.
