In the border town two sons of the local commander using stolen arms take hostages of eighteen girls in a dormitory, because they want to go West by aeroplane. They don't have any contacts with their parents, neither have the parents with the town. No examples exist in this country for terrorist acts, first nobody can realize what really happened. By the third day strength has been over. The chief medical officer is the only one to get in carrying water and medicaments. By day four the young men themselves do not trust in success any more, their inexperience, exhaustion takes them over. On day five the sharp shooter is able to shoot down the elder son from a hay attic. The girls are saved now. The chalk silhouette of the dead on the floor: shocking sign of crisis for a political system. (official distributor synopsis)
