A man seeks refuge in his small house at the foot of the mountain. As time passes and silence envelops the rooms, a voice from the past echoes, flowing endlessly through the worn audio cassettes.

It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
