Short description:
The story of children from a Serbian village who wanted to become stars during the World War II, because, according to old warriors tales, when a warrior dies, a star is born, and when a company dies - constellation! The peasants are uncertain to give their signature in order to save the teacher from shooting. The pupils, instead, give their signatures. The Germans are coming to get the signers. Old warriors, who have nourished the children with legend, however, make a replacement and go to death instead of children.
