Самое дорогое у человека - это жизнь. Она дается ему один раз, и прожить ее надо так, чтобы не было мучительно больно за бесцельно прожитые годы, чтобы не жег позор за подленькое и мелочное прошлое, чтобы, умирая, смог сказать: вся жизнь и все силы были отданы самому прекрасному в мире - борьбе за освобождение человечества. И надо спешить жить. Ведь нелепая болезнь или какая-нибудь трагическая случайность могут прервать ее. Охваченный этими мыслями, Корчагин ушел с братского кладбища.» Экранизация одноименного романа Н. Островского, в которой воссоздаются героические страницы борьбы советского народа против немецких интервентов на Украине в годы гражданской войны…
