About the title
The film takes place in the present day and during the war of 1942. Four "black diggers" — Borman, Cherep, Chukha and Spirt — dig at old battle sites in order to sell the items they find. The business is profitable on one hand, but dangerous on the other. One day they find a little book in which they see themselves. To come to their senses, they go swimming in a lake… and end up in 1942.
