Simple, true, and big with small

Simple, true, and big with small. The film selected a very small story. Although I don't know their history, the film is enough to make me feel the insignificance and helplessness of individuals in the war. The only meaning of the existence of war is to prove that war is meaningless. Although there are not many scenes, the scenes are full of tension. Although the screenwriter showed us the joyful transformation of Nika and Ahmed’s confederacy, and let us see the remnant of humanity and equal humanitarianism, in the end, it was because the Abkhaz soldiers treated Ahmed as their own. The suspicion of identity caused a tragedy and ruthlessly destroyed all of this.
