Plot In 1942, during the Great Patriotic War, the soldiers of the Third Reich's Edelweiss mountain division occupy a strategic position in the Caucasus mountains, from which they fire on Soviet refugees and wounded Red Army soldiers crossing the ridge.

Lieutenant Artem Arsenov (Armen Dzhigarkhanyan) devises a daring plan to climb to the summit and detonate the snow cap, triggering an avalanche to strike the German positions. He had unsuccessfully attempted to conquer this peak even before the war, in 1940. For the mission, he assembles a group of six people, including both experienced mountaineers and novices.

The group reaches the summit with heavy losses and completes the task. The Red Army forces begin to move through the now-cleared pass.
