  • Synopsis
  • A patriotic summer camp for children and young people has been held on Sakhalin every summer for years. It is organised by former army men, Afghanistan and Chechnya veterans who want to pass on their knowledge of discipline, armed combat, the honour of war and love of country to the youngsters. The documentary accompanies some of the young people during the days of the summer camp in this remote island landscape. Their activities, friendships, experiences, dreams and hopes.
