It is 1967, the middle of the Cold War in Legnica, south western Poland. The Red Army have turned the town into the largest Soviet garrison on foreign soil due to Legnica's proximity to Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Vera is the wife of the crack Soviet pilot Yura, but after attending a cultural event to ease Polish-Soviet tensions falls head over heels in love with Micha, a Polish officer.
