A film novel about the spiritual kinship and unity of two generations - the generation that has been tested by war, and the generation that is storming space. The multi-faceted film is built on four different stories. The connecting link is the image of Zhuravlev, a former general who heroically fought at the front, and now one of the leading designers of spaceships. Sending a rocket with cosmonaut Borodin into flight, he remembers the cosmonaut's namesake - a young tank driver whom he happened to meet on the roads of war...
