It has been three long years since Stepan last saw his family or heard from his wife. Stepan, a Soviet Army soldier, spent these three years fighting fascists in a partisan unit while his wife and two children considered him missing-in-action, or even dead. Once in an army hospital and awaiting his leave after an injury, Stepan decides to find out just how much his wife loves him. He writes a letter in which he tells her that he has had two legs amputated. Now that he is a legless cripple, will Shura accept him back? On receiving the letter, Shura does not hesitate whatsoever. Together with her eldest son she starts putting together a wheelbarrow in which she is going to haul her legless husband home from the train station. Stepan arrives... but there is a betrayal awaiting...
