Synopsis
It’s early in the morning. A bus with seven soldiers heads towards an unknown destination. Among the passengers is Dzoni, a young twenty year old having trouble adjusting to his new brigade. The bus arrives in front of an abandoned farm surrounded by a field. Dzoni is anxious about the mystery of their mission and attempts to find out what will be expected of them. No response. The wait begins in a field under the burning sun. A bus approaches crammed full of men. The commander of the unit explains to his recruits that these prisoners are the enemy. The idol group of seven soldiers, which had up to this point dealt with the unease of waiting, have a premonition of the action to come.
