Five schoolchildren in Belarus come to a museum whose exhibition tells about the Great Patriotic War and the partisan movement, and dream of being in that time to perform feats. Their wish suddenly comes true - and then four boys and one girl shoot down German tanks with a cannon, and then mine and blow up a German warehouse with shells. True, in the end it turns out that all these feats were a dream, but the oath on a red-hot coin then very quickly became fashionable among children - though not for very long.
