- Synopsis
- The only inhabitants of a village are an old man named Ivo and his neighbour Markus, the owner of a tangerine orchard. Everyone else has fled the war. Markus wants to leave as well but only after he has harvested his tangerine crop. Ivo does not approve of his concern about the crop during wartime, but at the same time gives Markus all the support he can.
  The war approaches the village. The Georgians and the North Caucasians engage each other in combat before the very eyes of Ivo and Markus. Ivo finds a survivor on the battlefield – a wounded Caucasian man named Akhmed, and takes him to his place. As they bury the Georgians killed in combat at night in the woods, Markus discovers that one of them is still alive and takes him to Ivo’s place as well. Thus two enemies representing the opposing sides end up under one roof.
