20th century, mid 90s somewhere in the Southern Caucasus… One of the local conflicts... Two platoons of enemies – an Azeri and an Armenian move to a ruined and burnt village. Ohan is one of the Armenians – a guy of 20. It is obvious from his gestures and looks that he’s not a novice at war. Yusuf can be seen among the Azeri soldiers. He is a heavily built 50-year-old man, skillful and of distinct manners, but looking tired. The village is a neutral place for both detachments, convenient for passing to the rear of the enemy at night, and carrying out an operation: neither of them knows the enemy approaches.
