Summer of 1942. The elderly Georgian farmer Giorgi Makharashvili learns that his son, Goderdzi, is wounded and was taken to a hospital. Giorgi is setting forth to visit his son. While he was getting there, the son had recovered and sent off to the front.
Giorgi decides to stay in the army and successfully gets enlisted to the motorized units. Together with his comrades in arms, he goes to Germany. He finds his son's tank brigade was the first to cross the river. There is a fight in a building between the Soviets on ground level, and Germans on the second level, as the Soviets try to liberate the blockaded soldiers on the third level.
Giorgi hears his son, and tries to save him. Goderdzi is fatally wounded, and is held by his father. The film ends with Giorgi and his comrades crossing the bridge, inscribed in paint "Here, first crossed the tanks of Hero of the Soviet Union Senior Lieutenant Makharashvilli"
