synopsis
Afghanistan, 20 years before September 11: the fate of Nikolai, a young soviet soldier lost in a war that doesn’t concern him. Imprisoned by the afghan Moudjahidin, who had been described to him as monsters, he turns into Ahmad the Afghan and travels through the shocking reality which has become one of the blind spots of contemporary history.
