About the title
One day in the life of a political prisoner in the Gulag. The film is based on Alexander Solzhenitsyn's story 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich'. Ivan Shukhov, an ordinary soldier, becomes prisoner Shch-854 after German captivity. Despite injustice, perpetual hunger and cold, Ivan continues to believe in a miracle and dreams of seeing his daughters again. He is serving out the last days of a 10-year sentence and eagerly awaits his release. This is the story of an honest, unbroken man who managed to survive the horrors of the Gulag and remain himself.
