These lines from a Soviet song can serve as an epigraph to the film "The White Way". Despite the cold and hunger, literally dying at work, the doctors of besieged Leningrad continued to save the lives of soldiers and citizens to the last, to make scientific discoveries on a global scale. This is a conversation about the victory of the human over the animal, vocation over circumstances. Honest eyewitness accounts, unique chronicle shots of hospitals in the besieged city, a dialogue between the past of Leningrad and modern St. Petersburg.
