With war all around him, the surgeon's life is in danger in spite of the nature of his profession. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

It is interesting to note that the disruptions caused in Europe by the Second World War were devastating to countless individuals and families and persisted for many decades beyond the war. This 1973 Soviet film chronicles the dramas arising from the work of an agency that attempts to reunite families separated by that war. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
