Plot synopsis
The day Nikolai received his call-up to go
to military service, he tried in vain to
evade his obligations. It must be said that in his
country, the USSR, and in his time, the 80s,
the call-up to the flags is a terrible
lottery and Nikolai did not draw the right lot:
as he feared, he was assigned to Afghanistan.
Far from training maneuvers and
hides, his daily life will plunge him straight into the
horror of war. Explosions, killings,
fires, rapes... Nikolai did not want all that. He only asked to stay in the country and make
people dance with his guitar.
But the stage and the girls are far, very far,
when in addition to being an involuntary soldier, one becomes
the hostage of one's terrible enemies!
