30 years ago, during the years of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the struggle of the national republics for independence, Russian TV journalist Svetlana Kulchitskaya filmed documentary television films about the tragic events in Nagorno-Karabakh, where the war was going on. With the hope of finding people who are captured in documentary chronicles, she returns to this land. The film tells the story of a people who, without an army, surrounded by a blockade, managed to defend their independence and freedom.
