    • Synopsis
    • 1989. The end of the Soviet-Afghan war. The USSR begins to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
      Soviet General Vasiliev’s son – a pilot named Alexander - is kidnapped by the Mujahideen after his airplane crashes. As a result, the 108th Motor Rifle Division’s long awaited return home is put on hold for one last mission: bring the General’s son back.
      Based on true events, the previously untold story of this tragic withdrawal reveals the complexity of human nature during wartime.
