The film "Wandering Pain" is about what it is like to be the child of a person who fought in Chechnya and brought home pain, exhaustion, and emptiness instead of a living, energetic man. It is like looking up at something big and terrifying, trying to grasp it and evaluate it. The author explores how callousness and dryness destroyed the youth and fatherhood of someone who did not choose to be where people were dying en masse but still survived and returned home to raise children and prevent a new military conflict from happening in their lifetime.
