It is a pretty picture of an alien civilization, having certain quaint analogies with our own...

СССР, конец 70-х. Вчерашний студент Олег Хайдаров из абсолютно мирной и беспечной Москвы попадает в пылающую войной Анголу, которая только что рассталась с колониальным прошлым и уже погрузилась в кровавую, затянувшуюся на два десятилетия гражданскую бойню.
