Nikolay Litvin is a 92-year-old paratrooper, a veteran of the Second World War and, as he calls himself, "the head of the Litvinov clan". Despite his age, he appreciates life in all its manifestations, dreams of yet another parachute jump and spends years telling his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren about the war. This is the story of a typical Russian family and the common attempt of its several generations to understand how much the shock of war matters to them and... does it matter at all?.
