The series tells about the Airborne Forces, also known as the airborne infantry. The paratroopers are renowned for their desperate courage, stamina and fighting capacity. But can a woman cope with such heavy and risky work? Can fragile girls compete with the strongest and bravest of men? Before we open the gates of this unique Military Institute - Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School named after General of the Army Vasily Margelov. It is the world’s only higher educational institution that trains airborne officers. The series begins with the general lining up of the school. On the spacious parade ground "boxes" of students are lining up in neat rows. There are male faces, strict deportment. Commands are heard. In the gallery of harsh portraits we suddenly see more gentle faces – maiden ones. The focus is on Ekaterina Shchedrina. From her story we begin to understand where we have found ourselves. For Katya it is the fulfillment of a cherished childhood dream. And then another heroine of ours - a fragile Sasha Morina. She is almost a child. She continues Katya’s story, weaving her personal story into it. What pushed this fragile girl to such a serious test? A whirlpool of events draws us into the cadet days. There are exercises, breakfast, classes at school. Today the girls have fire preparation. With weapons in their hands, they look like Valkyries. Why do these girls, in a sense, children, need the weapon? Perhaps the answer to this question will help us to understand the motivations of our heroines better. And the way they handle it so dexterously (assembly-disassembly) proves their commitment and dedication. The feeling of this commitment is enhanced in classes at the gym, especially when they are developing techniques of unarmed combat. The airborne motto reads: "impossible tasks don’t exist". To what extent have our heroines have acquired that spirit? Are they prepared for an emergency situation? Where do they draw the line of the possible?
