This is an automatically translated description

Despite the obvious military context of the title, this is a story about an ordinary civilian, with or without a weapon. In an environment where disaster becomes an everyday thing. About the eternal in this everyday life. And about the fact that the war will not "write off" anything to anyone: neither to those who believed that there is no God and everything is allowed, nor to those who believed that He is, but that one can repent at the stolen image and He will forgive everything...

This is the story of 12 prisoners and two guards. From their separate pre-war stories to one day together, the day between life and death. A story about love that leads to war and turns a person into an executioner... or a hero. And you don't know who you will become until the very end. After all, everyone has their own inner captivity, which is stronger and sometimes more terrible than physical slavery.

The story is based on the Ukrainian film drama CAPTUM, which was presented at international film festivals in 2015 and released in Ukraine in early 2016. However, while the film shows the events of one day, the day before the death of the characters in the story, the book tells us what happened to these people before the war, how they experienced the events of that time of captivity internally, and even what the soul really is. The book also includes footage from the film.
