Spring of 1913. The Balkan Wars are in full swing. A Turkish battleship terrorizes the Bulgarian army with its long-range weapons. A group of desperate Bulgarian soldiers is trying to transport a ship overland to use it as defence. Along the way, they encounter some Turkish soldiers, who gradually transform from enemies into friends. The disputes among the Bulgarians themselves might prove to be fiercer than their hatred towards their enemies. The film won the Special Award of the City of Varna at the 35th Golden Rose Bulgarian Feature Film Festival.
