A Letter from the Front (synopsis) The war with the Nazis is nearing an end, and the survivors are about to face their relatives and significant others after a separation of nearly four years. Four difficult, grim, often unbearable years that have left their mark on the survivors, crippling them physically and hardening them emotionally. They have seen and lived through everything, yet still, the soldiers are anxious about meeting their beloveds. Is she waiting for me? Was she faithful? Did the separation affect her as badly as it did me? Will she accept me back, injured or crippled?—wonder the soldiers. The closer the Victory, the more frequent the soldiers express jealousy and doubt in their letters. Stepan, a soldier whose family considers him “missing-in-action,” sends a letter like this to his home village. At the beginning of the war Stepan miraculously survived in a devastating battle, but like thousands of other Soviet soldiers he ended up far away from the rapidly retreating army. On Nazi-occupied territory Stepan formed a partisan party to go on fighting the enemy. For nearly three years he knew nothing of his dearly beloved wife Shura and his two sons. He did not know that they lived through an invasion and years of famine. He did not know how his wife longed for him, and what it cost her to save the children… In one of the skirmishes almost the whole partisan party perishes. A critically wounded Stepan is found by Soviet soldiers and sent off to hospital. Here at hospital, as he awaits recovery, he writes the fateful letter that will form an unbreakable barrier between his wife and himself…
