Doru is a Romanian soldier on his first mission to Afghanistan. Laila is an Afghan girl. They've met for a brief second and from that moment their destinies became intertwined. This film, finding itself on the border between documentary and fiction, tells the stories of a soldier marked by the brutality of war and that of a young girl who had been in the wrong place, in the wrong time. The director combines archival footage from the war in Afghanistan with beautifully shot personal images, in a film about the cruelty of war, from the perspective of both the invaders and of the civilians trapped within.
