In Slavic culture, crony relations have always had a special status and carried a charisma of frankness, sincerity, and, paradoxically, envy that defies any logical explanation. Suffice it to recall only a few sayings and proverbs, which are rich in Slavic folklore: “Kum to the king, matchmaker to the minister”, “Better than gratuitousness – only nepotism”, “Do not want to be executed – do not fall into cronies or matchmakers!” As often happens in life, the source of conflicts between cronies is often daily problems, from which no one is immune today. And fuel to the fire add friends, acquaintances, colleagues and neighbors – unwitting spectators and participants in family battles of two cronies. close

During the late 1980s and early 1990s the Armenian minority in Nagorono-Karabakh attempted to break away from Azerbaijan, one of the former Soviet republics. Overnight these former neighbors became enemies, and simple village folk were suddenly made hostages in a complex power game. One of the Azerbaijani villages right on the border is home to the family of the peasant farmer Kerim, who has just been captured by the Armenians. The village council decides to take an Armenian in order to arrange a hostage exchange. They imprison the wounded man in the barn next to Kerim's house, where his wife and three children desperately await the husband's return. The captive from the other side of the border finds himself in exactly the same situation - he, too, has three children, he finds it hard to scrape a living together, he has never done anything to harm anyone and, like Kerim, he just wants to go back home. But life in Karabakh is far more complex now. Blood calls for blood. close
