Synopsis

Young soldiers from previous wars are roaming the woods aimlessly. They wear the uniforms of the Soviet troops, the Wehrmacht or the American military forces during The Vietnam War, and seem to co-exist in the same peaceful forest. In interviews, they share war memories they can’t possibly have experienced themselves, but which have taken root in their memory. A film connecting imagination and storytelling to the reality of war.
