With the Soviet Patriotic War as the background, young Sasha fell deeply in love with the battalion commander's lover on the battlefield - Liuba, known as the "Queen of the Battlefield". More than 10 years later, the demobilized Sasha met Liuba on the street. At this time, she had become a slovenly and cynical hawker. However, Sasha was still attracted by his beautiful laughter and recognized him. As a result, a tortuous love tragedy triggered between Sasha and his wives Vera and Liuba.

The film won the Best Film Award at the All-Soviet Film Festival in 1984 and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1985.

During the Patriotic War. In a frontline team, the young soldier Sasha fell in love with the "Queen of the Battlefield" Liuba. Liuba is the captain of the health company, beautiful and proud, and she is passionately in love with the battalion commander. At night, the gramophone playing classical tango music and her crisp and unbridled laughter floated out of the battalion commander's shelter. Sasha sat in the trench and listened, looking longingly. On the eve of a battle, he bid farewell to Liuba lovingly, confessed his love to her, and wished her and the battalion commander a happy life.

After the war, Sasha worked as a projectionist in a Moscow theater and started a family. His wife was a female teacher.

On a cold winter day, he accidentally met the "Battlefield Queen" on the street. Liuba is no longer what she used to be, but she is seen in shabby clothes, standing in the snow selling fried buns, with a little girl beside her. Sasha looked at her from left to right

and tried her best to trace the lost memory, but unexpectedly Liuba did not recognize him and almost thought of him as a man with evil intentions.

He scolded and chased him away. From her crying, Sasha heard that her life was very difficult, so he mustered up the courage to step forward and buy all her buns again. After he left Liuba, his mind kept thinking about her image back then. She was so young and full of youthful vitality... But where was their leader? Who is that little girl?

In order to understand the mystery in Xinxin, he came to the fried bun stall again the next morning. On the way, he also bought a flower.

He also presented Liuba with a bright little wild flower in the trench. Liuba was finally impressed by his sincerity, and Sasha had the opportunity to ask.

It turns out that the battalion commander died in the war, leaving Liuba with this daughter. Liuba never married again, although

a military commander and a pilot proposed to her. They were both rich, but she was unwilling to accept this disparity

Marriage. Now, she is alone with her child, renting a private house. The rent is too expensive, and she has to go to the streets every morning

to hawk. Although life is hard, she is not dependent on anyone.

Sasha was overjoyed to unexpectedly meet his idol from the past, but when he learned about Lyuba's experience and current predicament

a sourness came to his heart. He felt that Liuba had made military exploits during the war and should have more rights than other women to enjoy happiness. However, she was so unfortunate that he was determined to help her.

So, when Lyuba went home to take care of her sick daughter, he happily helped her tend the stall and hawk. The place where Lyuba lived was noisy, and the landlord was often unreasonable, so he took them to the district executive committee again and again to apply for housing. He also often invited Lyuba and her daughter to watch movies in his screening room. After the audience left, they stayed in the screening room to relive their old friendship. Sasha's love nourished Liuba's heart like rain and dew, and her face regained its former glory.

Sasha gently combed her golden hair and applied lipstick to make Lyuba look charming. It was late at night, and the small screening room was filled with beautiful music. Sasha danced with Liuba in her arms, as if this was the shelter of the battalion commander.

Sasha was distracted and made mistakes at work one after another.

Once, the manager invited his wife over and reported to her her husband's recent abnormal behavior, which included selling fried buns on the street. The manager also opened the drawer and showed her a drawer full of buns that Sasha had bought. However, Vera has always trusted her husband, and she still refuses to listen to her husband's faults. But when she left the theater and passed an intersection, a clear hawking sound came to her.

Looking up, it was a woman selling fried buns. She understood that the manager's words were not based on rumors. Her husband was often away from home recently, so there must be a reason for it. Thinking of this, a sad feeling of loneliness came over my heart.

Sasha spends almost every night with Lyuba. He accompanied her to the theater to listen to music, and walked hand in hand with her on the street. On a bench under the shade of the forest, they cuddled up and enjoyed the tranquility of dusk. "What a pity that we didn't get to meet each other just after the war ended." The feeling of regret for meeting each other arose in Sasha's heart.

"Do you think I will be an amazing woman?"

"Why do you say that? You were already that kind of person in the past."

On New Year's Eve, Sasha invited Lyuba to his house. The two women finally meet. Vera deliberately picked on Lyuba's clothing. Liuba sensed that Vera was a little jealous, so she humorously declared that she would take away her husband. Vera was anxious and advised Liuba to find someone else. She said that Sasha only spoke the same language with her because they had the same cultural accomplishment. If a woman like Liuba, who is tacky and without pursuit, and Sasha, they would be very fond of each other. Almost bored. But Liuba did not show weakness, she

knew that the reason why Vera looked at her this way was because of the war. She answered Vera frankly, "It's very simple for Sasha to love me.

He loves me for who I am."

Vera asked her husband to answer whether Liuba's words were true. , which made Sasha embarrassed. The generous and kind-hearted Sasha did not have the courage or courage to express a clear attitude towards the two women because he did not want to hurt any of them.

Liuba was disappointed when she saw that her former comrade did not dare to admit her love for her. Vera was also in pain when she saw that her husband did not dare to deny his love for another woman. Vera left blankly because of dissatisfaction, but after a while she came back and entertained Liuba warmly as the hostess. Liuba felt the fun and warmth in this family, and she felt sad when she thought that she was living in a place where there was only drinking and chatting, accomplishing nothing.

Lewba returned home late at night and slept next to her daughter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was moved by the true friendship between Sasha and Vera

and decided not to disturb this happy family so as not to affect Vera's happiness. She felt that she should make a serious choice about her life again.

The next day, Liuba went to the district executive committee alone to apply for a house again. Novikov, the deputy chairman of the district executive committee, was a bachelor.

Like Liuba, he did not belong to the own residence. At this time Liuba was wearing a gorgeous dress and heavy makeup, giving her a unique charm. She stood in front of Novikov, and Novikov's heart skipped a beat...

Since Lyuba came, Sasha no longer had to hide anything from his wife. Vera is full of contradictions in her heart. She sympathizes with Liuba's experience and wants to give her position to Liuba, but her love makes her inseparable from her husband. When Sasha saw that his wife was tolerant, selfless and willing to make sacrifices, he was condemned by his conscience, but he couldn't let go of Liuba.

While the couple was caught in this complicated emotional entanglement, Liuba's life opened a new page. She visited Vera while Sasha was away

at home. She told Vera that she was getting married and that the other party was the vice chairman of the district executive committee. Vera understood the reason. She didn't know whether it was gratitude or sadness, but she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. When Lyuba saw this, she couldn't help but burst into tears

Crying.

The hearts of the two women trembled together...

As for Sasha, he was still in the dark at this time. He was looking for Liuba everywhere, but she was nowhere to be seen. Finally, he finally found Lyuba and her daughter in the red brick house behind the district executive committee. This was the new home of Lyuba and Novikov.

At that time, the newlyweds were busy preparing the food and drinks for the banquet.

Sasha stood at the door and stared at this happy scene, feeling a dull pain in her heart. But he immediately understood that Liuba would be happy in the future. For her, Novikov was more suitable than him. After deep thought, he decided not to alarm them.

But Liuba saw him accidentally and hurried out to greet him. However, before she could get closer, Sasha hurried downstairs

. When they got downstairs, looking up at Liuba's beautiful face, Sasha said tenderly: "I love you, but it's only been a long time.

That was back in the war years..."

Liuba had mixed feelings and let tears roll down her face. This romantic interlude, which was caused by a combination of circumstances, finally ended with regret and regret.

Sasha came to the street and kicked at the frozen water pipes to vent her complicated emotions.

Seeing that her husband had not returned for a long time, Vera went out to look for him. She saw the policeman riding a horse with Sasha from a distance on the street. At her

pleading, the police put Sasha down. Sasha leaned on the railing and stared at the night view of the lake in front of her, while Vera slowly walked towards him.

After the storm passed, the night seemed more peaceful...
