Synopsis

The film is about the war in Armenia from women's point of view. The girl (Lena) from Moscow, rides in a small North-Armenian town, where she was born. Then the war begins. Lena wants to take her grandmother and grandfather out of the town, but having arrived home, she realizes that she has no opportunity to return to Moscow.
