Last year, the World spent about two trillion dollars on armaments, which was the highest rate in 30 years. This film, without rhetoric, warns of the threat of incitement to III World War. The sad uniqueness of Ukraine is that it has witnesses of two generations who survived the horrors of war as children. Now Russia has imposed a new war on us. Let’s look at the war through the eyes of children. Old people say that killed children become angels. If you do not listen to the whispers of the angels, the amount will become more and more. The new generation can look at wars with new eyes to break the fatal cycle of their recurrences.
