[edit] Plot

In the city of Van in 1914, an Armenian doctor treats a Turkish boy. This gives rise to concern by people arguing that Armenians are enemies of the Turks. The doctor is killed by Hunchaks.

During the Battle of Sarıkamış, troops of the Ottoman Empire, fighting against Russia, run out of munition. 120 boys from Van march for several days through the snow to transport munition to the city of Sarıkamış; they suffer from the weather as well as an attack by the Hunchaks; only 22 of the boys survive.
