Set in a 1970s Far‑East border garrison opposite China, the film follows three officers’ wives—Marina Goloshchekina, kind and principled; Galya, intelligent and determined; and Albina, extravagant and unpredictable. Their lives intertwine amidst love, duty and danger. Marina, married to the volatile Nikita, discovers a secret affection for young officer Ivan Stolbov, testing her loyalties.
