The heroes of the Russian comedy-drama series "Kadetstvo" are first-year students at the Suvorov Military School in Moscow. These boys are only fourteen years old and have yet to fully grasp the weight of responsibility that comes with attending such a prestigious military institution. Some were sent here by their parents to continue family traditions, while others were "punished" for disobedience. Only a few of them truly aspire to the high ideals of becoming officers. Together, they will embark on a journey of growing up and discover true friendship.
