The script for the film, released on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, is based on archival photographs taken by front-line reporters of the agency. The uniqueness of the film is that it was created on the basis of archival photographs (more than 70 shots were used), video from family archives and newsreels, and their children and colleagues tell about the work of the agency’s military officers— noted in the press service of the art cluster «Tavrida.ART».

The filmmakers spoke about the fate of journalists, their deaths at the fronts, work in besieged Leningrad and Stalingrad blazing in the crossfire, about how Russian schoolchildren today, piece by piece, thanks to front-line photographs, restore the life stories and exploits of Soviet soldiers.
