Gutman's alternative
NKVD arrested the captain of the Soviet army Gutman. He is accused of cowardice, betrayal and treason - the USSR.
He is waiting for execution.
Responding to questions from the NKVD investigator, Gutman recalls what happened to him a week before his arrest - he could not shoot at his childhood friend, now officer Wafen SS, he forbade shooting prisoner legionnaires, he met his first love and series of the different events, revealing the real reasons and characters which help to remain a human being in the war. Realizing his death by firing squad is inevitable, at the end of the interrogation, he accused the Soviet authorities of the Latvian inhabitans' genocide.
