Plot summary
The winter of 1946 brings a group of captured German soldiers to a transit camp in Leningrad staffed by Soviet women. Those women lost husbands, families and friends to the German army, so the arrivals meet hostility, and only the doctor Natalia and the camp cook treat them decently. Natalia has an arrangement with Colonel Pavlov: her former lover, left slow by a head wound in the war, remains at the camp rather than going to an institution in Siberia. In exchange, Pavlov orders her to identify the SS men hidden in the German group. Natalia is drawn to one prisoner, Max Bort, while another, Klaus Prompst, presses Max to denounce two of the others.
