On the battlefield, a soldier is struck by a bullet, losing his consciousness. When he comes to his senses, he finds himself another world. He meets a Stone Age warrior, a medieval warrior with a sword, and two soldiers - from World War I and World War II. The soldiers from different eras begin to argue with each other about one thing - whose war is more sacred.

Director’s statement
With the development of technology, weapons of mass destruction were brought into the world. Instead of resolving their differences without war, humanity has spent billions of dollars inventing weapons of mass destruction. The death of people around the world, whose lives are claimed by war, was the impetus for the creation of our film. With this film, I wanted to say that if we live without war and if we don’t spend our money on weaponry, the world will change, and hunger and poverty will disappear entirely. Peace and tranquility will finally take its place in the hearts of people.
