“I stepped out into an open field and just kept walking. I thought: whatever happens, happens.” He was bleeding out, abandoned by his own side, and rescued by... the very people he was supposed to shoot at.

Adam, a veteran of the Russian-Ichkerian wars, visited Caucasian prisoners of war at a POW camp in Ukraine. In personal conversations with people from his own region, one with a complicated history, Adam tries to understand the motivation of Chechens, Kabardians, and Dagestanis who ended up 1,000 kilometers from home, fighting against the Ukrainian people.
