A sublime ode to ordinary people in times of war; a cry, a silent scream for a drop of normal and decent life which was taken away with no particular reason. As the plot, deceptively uninteresting, is dragging towards the end of the film, this silent scream is raising in viewers throats, making you want to explode of anger, finding no answers of why are such things happen if the only thing you want is to live and let live! An excellent display of anti-war emotions, shown through long scenes of shattered and dusty life in a war zone. This film is not only about Chechnya and Russian - Chechen conflict. Every person who experienced grieves of war can find relief after such movie. Very nice peace of art!
