Synopsis

The story may happen in Kosovo, or Sarayevo, Karabakh, Palestine, Abkhazia, South Ossetia; Or in any other place where misery of war is spread.
The Caucasus of 90-es, since the USSR's collapse.

The car moves loop-wise along the uninhabited village road and stops next to one of the houses. Earlier this house belonged to someone, but was abandoned in an hour within one night, just like other houses.
People left the village owing to fear. Driven with survival instinct everything was left unmoved, only cattle were drown off. And this is to happen due to turmoil caused by ethno-conflict.
The driver, a forty-year-old ” boevik” , who was awarded with ownership of that village, shipped to the house a family of dejected citizens who had lost their dwelling due to armed clashes.
In the house where twilight shed its sepulchral glow over the frozen rooms, the bleak village roads, a deserted cemetery and the booby-trapped citrus plantations run wild, a new life had to begin…
