[DOK.fest '22] The director's decision to present the film in 4:3 ratio and B/W, invoking the spirit of "Paths of glory" (1957), creates a timelessness in the representation of this "frozen war" that has finally become the destruction of an entire country. But the interest is the atmosphere of camaraderie amid the tension of death, in this group of young people facing the war as if they were playing "Call of duty".
