The history of mankind is also the history of wars. The film contains military footage of the 20th century that has never been included in official chronicles. The so-called "cuts" are, as a rule, "household" in nature. The film is an image of a huge and hopeless war, where men wander through the twentieth century, where there is no front line, where the war turns into a massive sexual perversion that destroys the very logic of human existence.

In 1987, the UN Commission on Human Rights adopted a resolution recognizing conscientious objection to military service as "a legitimate exercise of freedom of thought, conscience and religion." In Russia, the right to alternative civilian service was first enshrined in the 1993 Constitution. By law, not only believers can refuse to serve in the armed forces. Other citizens have the right to declare not about faith, but about CONVINCES that are incompatible with military service, peacekeeping, philosophical, moral, ethical, political, etc. Alternative employees work as librarians, orderlies, archivists, workers in circuses and theaters, etc. Sounds good - peaceful work is wonderful!
