2007 film, directed by Alexsandr Sokurov, depicting the life of a group of Russian soldiers in war-torn Chechnya. Seen from the perspective of an old woman, the film explores family relationships in a masculine world full of violence, fear and death. Alexandra (Galina Vishnevskaya) travels to Chechnya to find her grandson (Vasily Shevtsov) whom she has not seen for seven years. Able, because of her age, to move apparently freely between the military and the civilian population, Alexandra discovers the everyday aspirations and motivations of characters on both sides of the conflict.
