Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The Soviet war in Afghanistan. The film follows a group of young recruits from a farewell ceremony with friends and family back home, through their often brutal training up to a bloody battle on a mountain top in Afghanistan against the mujahideen. In the closing episode of the film, after the final bloody fight, where most of the unit perishes, it turns out that the boys were simply forgotten at a post which not longer needed to be defended; yet the unit survivor proudly declares that they “won their war.”
