- Synopsis
- 25-year-old Satenik spends her days looking through videos of Armenian war captives, trying to find her brother who went missing during the 2020 Artsakh War. She is also helping other missing soldiers' families who are in a similar situation.
  All of these videos have similar plots; the captives are tortured and then beheaded. The story starts the day Satenik recognizes a friend’s son amongst the captive soldiers. When people around are giving in to their emotions, Satenik decides to become everyone's anchorage. She forbids herself to think or feel to stay strong for people who’ve put their hope in her.
  Next time we see Satenik she is attending the soldier's funeral, whose face she recognized in the video. This experience traumatizes her to the core; the boy was beheaded. She dreams a nightmare about her brother, from which Satenik wakes up in a bus full of people. Two of the passengers start a fight over opening the window, but it slowly transforms into a political argument about the current state of the country.
  When one of the passengers blames another one, a younger man, for being alive while so many of his peers sacrificed their lives, this becomes the last straw for Satenik. This is the first time we see her emote or express her true feelings in any shape or form. She tries to stay strong, but the tragedy around gets to her too.
