I want to be someone like Ivo

It's not sensational at all, but it keeps me crying. There are four men in one drama, the feelings between people and their mutual care is moving.

Chechen men who fought for money were willing to pay the old man picking oranges. After the Georgian boy was killed, the Chechen man listened to the yellow tape of the Georgian boy as he drove home.

Because of Ivo, Chechens and Georgians ranged from hatred and disdain between enemies to jokes and quarrels between brothers, and even raised their guns again for the common enemy.

Ivo, who loves and hates this land, actually didn't do anything, but just gave them a chance to get along and set aside their prejudices and get along with each other. Ivo, who is caring for everyone, is always considerate. When burying the corpse, the Chechens and Georgians should be buried separately. Before burying, check whether there are documents proving their identity in their pockets so that their families can find them. Buried his friend in the orange grove he loved, and buried the Georgian boy next to his son who was killed by Georgians blindly participating in the war.

Like Ivo, I want to be such a powerful person in my heart.

    The anti-war films with a small perspective but intense conflict are really hard to watch!

    Better than "Borderless Land". The same calm and restrained, but also deeply implying helplessness. The layout is small, and the intention can be big or small, depending on the audience. Last year, I talked to a veteran of the Wa State Veterans Compensation Center. He also had experience of being wounded in combat and was treated with the Burmese army in a Thai hospital. They didn't say anything about killing each other, so they started chatting happily on the hospital bed. It’s just that as a Chechen mercenary, there is really no need to fight like that in the house.
