There has been little written about the armed conflict on the Dniester river in 1992 after the breakup of USSR. This movie aims to show in details the reality that surrounded this conflict, by presenting the story of some villagers appearing randomly throughout the opening scenes. What follows is an interesting story with these people and how the conflict has impacted their lives for better or for worse.
The acting is truly amazing, the attention to details when setting up the scenes is definitely worth appreciating.
However, there are minor flaws worth mentioning. First of all, the captioning for scenes in Russian was missing, putting some of the audience in somewhat of a disadvantage. Second, some historical inaccuracies were also there, for instance the celebration of the independence day of the Republic of Moldova (27th of August) and the mentioning of the end of conflict on the same day (although the latter happens on the 21st of July).
Nevertheless, absolutely worth the watch, there are tons of details about the event to enjoy.

Being born in a land that was itself surrounded and oppressed by larger empires throughout history, this documentary hit especially hard.
It does not only make you realize that man will never learn from mistakes, but also that history has repeated itself and will sadly continue to repeat itself going forward.
What impressed me the most was that they brought input of historians from different countries (that succeeded the beligerents of this war).
What was fascinating, on the other side, was that the plan/idea for the war was actually in place long before I would have thought.
Absolutely worth the watch to understand why that is the case, 10/10.
