Plot

edit

Based on Boris Izyumsky's novella Red Epaulets, the film explores the education of future officers of the Soviet Army. Major Bokhanov (Vladimir Druzhnikov), the new instructor at a Suvorov Military School, is immediately tasked with resolving a conflict involving senior cadet Gennady Pashkov and his peers. Gennady, arrogant and self-centered, often mocked friendships between boys and girls and was willing to betray his comrades. However, under the guidance of the experienced Bokhanov and with the passage of time, Gennady's behavior transforms. By the time the cadets graduate, his friends are confident that Pashkov will become a capable and respected commander.
