Synopsis

In the Vitebsk and Novgorod forests, remnants of World War II linger beneath the soil. Thousands of Soviet soldiers lost their lives in 1942, and today, on the Belarusian-Russian border, volunteers search for their remains. These enthusiasts aim to ensure that the fallen are buried according to peacetime laws, rather than wartime practices. Their efforts reflect a commitment to honoring the dead and addressing the unresolved history of the region.
