Plot synopsis
Six months there is a war between Russia and Ukraine. Among the Russian republics, Buryatia almost immediately found itself among the regions with the highest number of dead military personnel. Cemeteries here are full of fresh graves of soldiers. Funerals and zinc coffins have been coming to Buryatia almost every day since February 24, 2022. More than 300 dead only officially. The government of Buryatia is counting the heroes. Four new Heroes of the Russian Federation, more than a dozen orders of courage - posthumously. This is a reflection film from the stories and thoughts of loved ones of the new "war heroes", supplemented by the reality of their life in one of the most depressing regions of Russia.
