The requirements are that the candidates should be very thin, probably because thy will be convicts in Siberia, in the GULAG camps.
The film tells the fact-based story centered on soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940. It is based on the book by Slavomir Ravich "The Long Walk: the true story of a path to freedom". Ravich and six other people manage to cross Siberia, the Gobi Desert, Tibet and the Himalayas, reaching India.
