Trailer

Why watch this film?

The starting point of this story is war -- more specifically, the Afghanistan War -- but here the focus is just on one combatant, who loses his legs after stepping on a landmine and is torn between recovery (and love) and the desire to go back to the conflict, even while disabled. In the end, the goal is not to make moral judgments about the war, but to show one of its facets, specifically in the relationships between people.
