The film, based on the script of the St. Petersburg writer Anatoly Agrafenin, is dedicated to the newspaper journalists of the besieged Leningrad. Overcoming incredible difficulties and trials, journalists and printers managed to ensure the production of newspapers in the besieged city, which were published daily, as before the war. Newspapers brought people information about the situation on the fronts, about how the fighting Leningrad lives, instilled confidence in the imminent victory over the enemy. It is no coincidence that the newspaper word in those days was equated with bread.

This documentary promoting the joys of life in a Soviet village centers on the activities of the Young Pioneers. These children are constantly busy, pasting propaganda posters on walls, distributing hand bills, exhorting all to "buy from the cooperative" as opposed to the Public Sector, promoting temperance, and helping poor widows. Experimental portions of the film, projected in reverse, feature the un-slaughtering of a bull and the un-baking of bread.

A documentary on the expletive's origin, why it offends some people so deeply, and what can be gained from its use.
