The first girl, in 1942, is exchanging letters with a soldier about to be sent to the front. He sends her poetry, writes her music and draws paintings of her. They quickly fall in love and she remains in the city in order to meet him on the way to the front. Fate determines that they are never to meet and she goes to the front herself, never to return
​
The modern day Katya is a promising young violinist who discovers, by chance, this incredible story and is determined for the world to know about it and, if by chance this young soldier is still alive, to deliver to him the final letter that was written.
