Spoilers ahead
In the provincial settlement of Borsk, Kira Sergeyevna, a young physics teacher fresh out of university, arrives to start her career. She is tasked with guiding a challenging ninth-grade class of “war children” — a group of independent yet emotionally unsettled teens — and the town’s social fabric soon reveals a web of personal and communal struggles playing out inside the classroom and beyond. Among the pupils is Olya Ryzhkova, a girl who lives with a distant, workaholic father and seeks solace in public service as a Pioneer leader. Olya’s outward confidence masks a deeper ache, and her official duties leave her yearning for something more authentic than formal roles can provide.
