1984. Nicolai, a young Soviet musician, arrives in Afghanistan like thousands of other Soviet draftees to fight a war that his not his own. In a constant state of fear, he finds himself plunged into a world of violence and death.
One day, while carrying out a mission, he is captured by Commandant Massud’s mujahideen, who take him deep into the mountains where Afghan resistance fighters are holed up.
