The story revolves around a group of American pilots hailing from Alaska who are tasked with ferrying fighter planes across the ocean as part of the lend-lease program.
The serene routine of the aerodrome is suddenly disrupted when it becomes apparent that the American pilots are not only skilled aviators but also alluring and charismatic young women. This unexpected twist creates a collision of emotions and experiences as the Russian young men find themselves irresistibly drawn to these foreign women. However, cultural and linguistic barriers serve as obstacles, giving rise to a series of awkward, amusing, and at times tragic situations.

It explores the intricate dynamics between men and women during times of conflict, where the forces of love and death intertwine.
