L'histoire se focalise sur les événements d'octobre 1919 où une troupe de marins partisans de la Révolution livre un combat contre les Blancs dirigés par Nikolaï Ioudenitch, non sur mer mais sur terre. Le commissaire Martynov, dépêché pour organiser la défense de Petrograd recrute quelques marins du port de Kronstadt à l'attachement soviétique éprouvé, pour aller à repousser les Blancs. Ces derniers, victorieux dans un premier temps, jettent les prisonniers du haut d'une falaise, une pierre attachée au cou. On a alors un long plan sur les vagues de la Baltique, comme pour nous signifier un retour des choses. Après quelques secondes, l'un des marins, qui avait gardé son couteau, ressort de l'eau et regagne la berge. Il rejoint Kronstadt et prend la tête de la flotte qui débarque là même où ses camarades furent précipités. Les marins montent en haut de la falaise. Les Blancs, en train de lutter contre l'infanterie, sont pris sous un double feu. Leur fuite les mène au bord de la falaise, d'où ils se jettent pour échapper aux Rouges, finalement victorieux.

Deux histoires parallèles qui se déroulent dans une situation de guerre, dans la même ville, mais séparées d'un demi-siècle. La première histoire se déroule en 1993, lors de la guerre en Bosnie-Herzégovine, tandis que l'autre se passe en 1943, en pleine seconde guerre mondiale. Pendant le film, les deux histoires se complètent l'une et l'autre et, suivant une série d'événements surprenants, s'entrelacent enfin dans un cimetière mystérieux et intemporel. Juste avant l'aube, deux forces puissantes se relâchent dans ce cimetière, qui aurait été hanté : le Feu, omniprésent dans les deux histoires et la Mort, la force des morts en temps de guerre...
