Synopsis
In 1941, Svetlana Ivashova leaves her home in Vladivostok to travel to a small town in the Ukraine so that she can be near her fiancé, Igor, a postal worker. Igor has already left for the front by the time she arrives, and Svetlana decides to wait for him in the now empty post office building. As the war progresses, the old building is put to many uses, and Svetlana helps in a number of capacities, gaining the admiration of all her coworkers. First, the building houses a team of correspondents who publish a newspaper for the soldiers; then, as the war moves nearer, the house becomes a field hospital and Svetlana serves as a nurse. Finally, as the Germans reach the town, Svetlana does liaison work for a Soviet infantry company, earning a medal for her exploits. As the Russians repulse the Germans the hospital returns. As the Germans are pushed further back, the surviving correspondents return, among them Susdalev, who falls in love with Svetlana and writes a story about her, inspiring the fighting men at the front. Throughout the war, Svetlana remains faithful to Igor, and at last they are reunited as he returns from the front.
