The video features a speaker in period costume who guides viewers through the camp's layout, describing the small dugouts where partisans found shelter. He details the harsh conditions they endured, noting how they adapted and made use of captured supplies.

The video also focuses on a pair of French barrels found at the site, highlighting the ingenuity of the partisans in utilizing captured resources. The historical details presented in the video provide a unique perspective on the challenges and resourcefulness of the Belarusian partisans during World War II.
