A village nestling on the slopes of snowy peaks in the Caucasus mountains. Rifle shots are heard, followed by other sounds: people chattering, dogs barking. No humans can be seen. Then there are close-ups of houses and other voices, but still no signs of human presence. When the camera frames the mountains through the window of a ruined building, it is clear that human beings will never appear, because this is an abandoned village, and the sounds we are hearing are those of the past.
