The main
characters of this documentary are four men. When they were kids, they dreamed
about being soldiers and they made their dream come true. They decided to go to
Afghanistan, not because of money but because they felt it was a soldier’s duty
and because of the loyalty to their colleagues who were already there. The film
shows what price soldiers pay for engaging in war. It depicts three stages that
every soldier has to go through.
The first stage is preparation
for the mission. The film accompanies soldiers in practical and theoretical
training and process of forming a military team. It is very important to stress
the mutual solidarity and loyalty of the soldiers who are together in the
everyday military service.
The second stage
is the participation in the: carrying out military tasks, actions for local
communities and emotions connected with the stay in the mission, mostly longing
for family and friends.
The third stage is
homecoming: how the process of re-adapting to reality proceeds in the world
where there is no direct danger to life anymore. Is it possible for them to
regain normal lives?
