Dima died on May 23, 2013, at the age of 21. Enlisted in the Russian army, he was shot in the head during a special mission in Dagestan. While his parents face the emptiness left by his loss, the army continues to train young soldiers for a future mission. These two worlds mingle to draw what was the life of Dima and its brutal end.
