Girls and restaurants, splendid cars, hashish and brother-friends: this is Arman Aramyan’s, former party-member’s son life... With all this a big and a real love. Mari... She is the only light in Arman’s life.
... An escape from investigation, against his will in a volunteer Armenian platoon, war. On the border of life and death: a spoilt but brave Yerevan guy becomes a clever and courageuos soldier.
