The film title is the number used to mark the Armenian soldier lost in action who fought against Azeris in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020. While the family is trying to find the student’s body, his sister is recording the search and accompanying emotions on her smartphone. Will the DNA test confirm that the bones discovered are Soghomon’s remnants? The carefully arranged takes offer us an insight into an exceptionally intimate situation when filming becomes in-depth co-feeling. It is an intimate documentary, shot in an intuitive way, whose climax will not leave anyone cold.
