Synopsis

Dans un village, près d'un fleuve, à la suite de l'incendie de leur maison, deux retraités se retrouvent sans abri. N'ayant ni la force ni l'envie de reconstruire une isba, ils choisissent de rejoindre leur fille qui habite dans le nord de la Sibérie, à Vorkouta, bien qu'un de leurs fils soit dans une meilleure situation. Ils apprennent que leur fille, mère d'un petit garçon, a quitté le foyer conjugal pour suivre un autre homme. Lorsqu'elle revient, outré par sa conduite, son père la chasse. Lui et son épouse vont donc cohabiter avec leur gendre alcoolique et leur petit-fils. Le grand-père imprégné de l'idéologie de la période stalinienne va découvrir sur place les conséquences de cette époque.

In 1919, during the Russian Civil War, a small force of Red Army soldiers that survived a crushing defeat by the Whites is forced to flee into the Karakum Desert. Among them is female sniper Maria, who has already claimed thirty-eight enemies dead. When the unit ambushes a camel caravan transporting White soldiers, she kills two of them and tries to shoot their officer, who will be her forty-first, but misses. The man, a lieutenant named Govorukha-Otrok, is carrying a letter from Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak to General Anton Denikin that states he has secret information to be conveyed orally to General Dratsekno. Maria is entrusted with guarding him. Tensions arise between both: the officer is a well-educated aristocrat who is both amused and impressed by the crude attempts of Maria, a fisherman's orphan daughter, to compose Agitprop poetry. When their camels are stolen, their commander decides to send his captive on a boat to their headquarters in Kazalinsk via the Aral Sea. The vessel capsizes in a sudden storm, and only Maria and Otrok remain alive, stranded on an isolated island. The Red soldier treats the White officer when he catches a fever and is slowly charmed by his manners, while he is overcome with gratitude and begins to call her 'Man Friday' with affection. When she demands to know what he means, he tells her the story about Robinson Crusoe. The two fall in love and seem to forget about the war.
