The war began. Small border towns were supplied with weapons, but the inhabitants made the decision not to have them. The enemy forces eventually invade the town, but the unarmed inhabitants say, “We want to talk. What is the fate of those who claim that we are citizens before we belong to country?

Submitter Statement

The more we think about peace, the more complicated it becomes. Differences in countries and politics, economies and climates, they never come down to one answer. Simply, as citizens, we simply hope, please don't destroy our homes, our markets, our schools. Please don't separate me from my loved ones. People all over the world should be able to say yes to this simple and noble wish. I made this film to keep that perspective in mind and to protect it.
