In a Siberia village in the years following the war. Nastya, the most beautiful girl in the village, is waiting for her beloved husband to return from the frontline. The women sympathize her, but spread the rumors that Nastya is off her head out of head: she starts every time someone knocks on the door, hoping that her husband has finally found a way back home, or that at least there is some news of him. Expectation and faith are now the life for Nastya, her little son Misha and the father of the missing husband, Vasily Prokhorovich. A story of one family, a story of one village unveils the story of the entire country.
