Overview

An autobiographical story, set in the city of Grozny in 1994 — its last peaceful year before the outbreak of the First Chechen War, Russia. It follows the life of one family and the tight-knit community of a single courtyard — a place full of warmth, quiet beauty, and the haunting presence of what was to come.
