Based on the real-life story of Soviet physicist Artem Alikhanian, this film presents a beautiful yet tragic reflection on war, as the main character deals with his own ghosts and tries to find a way to move on. Moving freely between the 1940s and ‘60s, director Frunze Dovlatyan offers a unique perspective on the Great Patriotic War and the havoc it wreaked on the lives on the young and scientists alike. As life falls apart, the laws of physics hold firm.
