Movie about the fate of a woman named Gowher. Before the start of the Great Patriotic War, the groom put on her head a traditional wedding cape - a red kurta, and asked her not to take it off until he returned. At the front, the groom died, but Govher never married, and wore his gift until her death. The picture is based on real events, and archival photos of the prototype of the heroine are also used in it.
