The documentary film reflects on the war in Chechnya based on the experiences of young soldiers who return from the mission mentally and physically broken. Conceived as a montage of emotional confrontations, it gains from the closeness and trust between directors and protagonists. The young men's reflections are expanded and deepened by memories of an elderly Afghanistan veteran, scenes from the Moscow Committee of Soldiers' Mothers and images of a brutal operation by the Russian army against Chechens.
