A group of 19 young women, led by a commander of the Yugoslav resistance, are the only people available to escort a number of wounded partisans into the mountain ranges where the Nazis are swarming. The crossing of difficult tracks, and some encounters with enemy patrols are sources of danger, and of death for some heroines. Two girls are in love with the Resistance leader, but the love of the motherland and freedom will triumph.

There are more than one Yugoslavian films about the resistance against the Nazis. This one has a peculiarity that could set it apart from all others, the number of female partisans in it far exceeds the number of male ones. One could then watch this war film, banal in spite of everything, with a polite semi-indifference (its battle scenes are passable), if it were not for the fact that in the French dubbed version, the so-called Yugoslav she-warrior has an English accent (normal, it's Jane Birkin!). As for her partner, both in real life and on the screen, Serge Gainsbourg, he might be a little more credible if he were not so well known and if he were dubbed by himself and not by a calamitous freelancer. Sorry but in these conditions the suspension of disbelief is... out of order ! The result is a film claiming to be dramatic but in the end proves most comical.
