The film features an amateur report documenting the reburial of those who died defending Ponornytsia during World War II:
1) 00:00:13 - 00:00:40 — Kyiv. Sculptural composition Forcing the Dnipro. Monument Mother Ukraine. Sound design: the song Holy War (Священная война) (lyrics by Vasyl Lebedev-Kumach, music by Oleksandr Oleksandrov), accompanied by the sounds of gunfire and shouting.
2) 00:00:41 - 00:08:46 — The village of Ponornytsia. Views of wheat fields and birch trees. A mourning rally is held for the reburial of Dagestani Red Army soldier Amilkhan Emuldinov and Russian soldier Pyotr Melnikov, who died on September 18, 1943, during World War II. A procession with flags proceeds through the village. Veterans and Ponornytsia residents follow a truck carrying the coffins. Along the village streets, locals stand by the fences of their homes, crossing themselves. Children with flowers lead the procession. A voice-over recounts the soldiers’ deaths and recites verses from the folk song Oh, In The Field Of Rye... (Ой у полі жито…), as well as an excerpt from Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s film story Ukraine on Fire (Україна в огні).
3) 00:08:47 - 00:13:30 — The mourning rally continues at the mass grave. Speeches are delivered from the rostrum, including remarks by Sushenytsia. Wide shots of present-day Ponornytsia residents and veterans. Speech by Nikiforets. The coffins are lowered into the ground. A military salute is fired using blank rounds. A brass band plays a funeral march. Wreaths and flowers are laid at the grave and memorial. Shots of the surrounding fields through the forest branches.
A second audio track functions as an editing cue sheet, providing a frame-by-frame breakdown of the editing plan, including people, objects, and actions. - Language:
