Plot

The film takes place during the war of 1812, when Napoleon's army is defeated and retreats. In the center of the plot are three Russian soldiers who are stationed in the forest.[5]

Zaletaev brags that he "took Poleon twice prisoner". Senior soldiers laugh and go to bed. Suddenly, two cold, hungry, barefoot French soldiers come out from behind the bushes, straying from their unit. One of them falls in exhaustion. Russians carried him to the Colonel. Then they treat the second Frenchman porridge and poured him vodka. Warmed up, half-asleep Frenchman humming a song, Zaletaev echoes him. A French soldier falls asleep in his lap. "Also people!" an old soldier exclaims.
