Tatiana vive com a família em Leninegrado. A Rússia foi flagelada pela revolução, mas a cidade mais cosmopolita do país guarda ainda memórias do glamour do passado. Bela e vibrante, Tatiana não deixa que o dramatismo que a rodeia a impeça de sonhar com um futuro melhor. Mas este será o pior e o melhor dia da sua vida. O dia fatídico em que Hitler invade a Rússia. O dia assombroso em que conhece aquele que será o seu grande e único amor. Quando Tatiana e Alexander se cruzam na rua, a atração é imediata. Ambos sabem que as suas vidas nunca mais serão as mesmas. Ingénua e inexperiente, Tatiana aprende com o jovem soldado os prazeres da paixão e da sensualidade. Atormentado pela guerra e pela incerteza quanto ao futuro, Alexander descobre a doçura dos afetos. E, enquanto as bombas caem sobre Leninegrado, eles vivem um amor que sabem ser eterno mas impossível. É um amor que pode destruir a família de Tatiana. Um amor que pode significar a morte de todos os que os rodeiam. Ameaçados pela implacável máquina de guerra nazi e pelo desumano regime soviético, Tatiana e Alexander são arremessados para o vórtice da História, naquele que será o ponto de viragem do século XX e que moldará o mundo moderno.

Leningrado, estate 1941. Tatiana e Dasha sono sorelle e condividono tutto, perfino il letto, nella casa affollata dove vivono con i genitori.

Ma un annuncio alla radio manda di colpo in pezzi la loro serenità: il generale Molotov sta comunicando che la Germania ha invaso la Russia. È la guerra. Uscita per fare scorte di cibo, Tatiana incontra Alexander, giovane ufficiale dell''Armata Rossa, e tra loro si scatena un''attrazione irresistibile. Ancora non sanno che quell''amore è proibito per entrambi e potrebbe distruggere per sempre ciò che hanno di più caro. Mentre un implacabile inverno e l''assedio nazista stringono la città in una morsa micidiale, riducendola allo stremo, la dolce Tatiana e il valoroso Alexander troveranno nel legame segreto che li unisce la forza per affrontare avversità e sacrifici. Con la speranza di un futuro migliore.

Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege.
