This portrait of Chechnya during the recent conflict tells a story of uncertainty and bleak despair via a series of lyrical images, which have more to say than a dozen talking bureaucrats would. The filmmakers take a particular interest in the country's youth. Stops at an isolated military school in St. Petersburg, at Chechnya's fallen capital and at a refugee camp for children in the neighboring Republic of Ingushetia imply the cycle of growth, violence and death that await so many.
