What was in mind of an Armenian youngster doing in the 1990s, during the collapse of the USSR, independence, the Artsakh War, and the energy crisis? What it was for an 17-year-old teenager? Arman Saghatelyan's autobiographical novel tells the story of Armenia during 1991-93. It is not black and white, it is not only about the victories, struggle for survival, but also about the cold and dark days. Everything was either too bad or too good. But according to the author, it was tolerable.

This book is about two young men who join the battlefield. They secretly leave for Artsakh to take part in the battles for Chldran. Nothing is exaggerated: neither the fear, nor courage, death, nor struggle. The battle for Chldran was fateful, as it became one of the turning points of the big war.
