Story
The film is based on the real story of the death of diplomatic courier Theodore Nette .
About the soldiers of the diplomatic front, leading the struggle for the formation and strengthening of the international authority of the young Soviet republic in the 1920s. The wounded red commander is assigned to serve as a diplomatic courier - he, the hero of the order-bearer, was offered to become a postman. He refuses, but, seeing in the corridor of the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, an obituary dedicated to the deceased diplomatic courier agrees. Meanwhile, the enemies of the Soviet Union are not asleep. They hire three former White Guards to steal another diplomatic post in Latvia and kill the accompanying people.
Other prototypes of the characters of the film, in addition to Theodor Nette, were Andrey Bogun and Vladimir Urasov [1] .
