A huge number of people from all over the world come to the trial, which will later be called the Trial of the Century: the city is overflowing with journalists, lawyers, translators, witnesses and many participants and employees of the trial. Among those who come to Nuremberg to work on the Trial is Igor Volgin. He is young, but he went through the war, has awards, and speaks several foreign languages. Volgin is to be a translator in the Soviet delegation led by Colonel Migachev. One day on the streets of Nuremberg, Volgin meets a young Russian girl, Lena. Their nascent feelings will go through many trials, but love is the only thing that has always saved the world from dehumanization.
