...year-old exile from the Chechen capital of Grozny, was filming in Pankisi, his main concerns were squaring the local mafiosi and allaying the fears of his actresses. His 35-minute feature aims to tell the story of the second Chechnya war through one family. The oldest son, Mikail, doesn't fall into the usual Chechen warrior stereotype - the film hints at a love of drawing - but nonetheless leaves his village, family and fiancé and joins a guerrilla unit when the Russians invade in 1999.
