For half a year the camera followed a batch of conscripts deep inside
the Russian Army. Each of character has undergone a transformation.
Cinema-verite filming method allowed to edit the film as an
uncomfortable and outrageous real-life drama. A bleak but ironic,
harsh but romantic, outrageous and paradoxical.

The Donetsk Airport , Ukraine, - rebuilt in 2012, but now a scene of
utter devastation -- shortly after Russian-backed separatists have
taken it over. Weaving together the voices of fighters on both sides
supported by battle video, we tell an unvarnished story of war through
the eyes of those who were there. The desperate fight for an airport
whose capture seems more symbolic than strategic, they also show how
human nature can adapt -- in sometimes disturbing ways -- when one's
life is on the line.
