At the beginning of 1917, in the third consecutive winter of war, tsarist Russia is on the brink of collapse. The population is suffering, the troops are on the defensive, and repression is steadily increasing. Against this backdrop, the young guard soldier Wolodja falls in love with a beautiful stranger. His misfortune is that someone else recognizes who his anonymous beloved truly is - Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the Tsar. "Comrades" is primarily a romance, even in harsh times, and this is reflected not only in the graphic representation but also in the historical facts that ultimately align with it. Thus, an enthralling tale of an impossible love emerges, overcoming all obstacles, as befits a great romance - with a touch of "Dr. Zhivago" included.
