Filming is taking place in the Balkans, with the film's action set in 1943. The main role of Soviet soldier Ivan, who escapes from a concentration camp in the Italian Alps, is played by Russian actor Ivan Yankovsky.

During his escape, the protagonist meets German film star Dieter Schulze, played by Miloš Biković, and Italian anti-fascist Giulia (Denise Sardisco). The three characters spend three days together and, despite language barriers, find understanding.

Against the backdrop of picturesque landscapes, a love story unfolds between Ivan and Giulia, who are forced to contend with hunger, pursuit, and the constant threat of death.

The novella «Alpine Ballad» is considered one of Bykaŭ's most famous works and has been translated into more than 50 languages. This is its second adaptation: about 60 years ago, a film based on this work was directed by Boris Stepanov, with Lyubov Rumyantseva and Stanislav Lyubshin in the main roles.
