This film is based on the actual fate of several military servicemen and civilian specialists, who went through the war in Afghanistan.
This film is dedicated to an integral part of the heroic history and legacy of our Motherland. The film became a personal appeal of those who lived through the Afghan War, an appeal to the modern and future generations, a call to preserve the truth about the selfless feat of Soviet citizens.

Director’s statement
The topic of war is, understandably, more than exciting at the moment, and in order to build the future, you need to know the past. I plunged headfirst into that war at that time. And I realized that that the experience of those who lived through war must be heard and never forgotten! The consequences of war, the mistakes of war, and the mistakes of the government must be remembered, so that they are not to be committed ever again.
