The Young Guard was a famous WWII underground organisation, whose members resisted Nazi occupiers in the Donbass, in 1942. They were only teenagers, some of them as young as 14. When the war broke out in Donbass, some teenagers joined the people’s militia to repel the Ukrainian army. In 2014, Krasnodon locals saw a moment of historic recurrence and became the new generation of the Young Guard. The documentary tells about the stories of young Donbass residents who took up arms and followed in the footsteps of their glorious fellow countrymen, 80 years later.
