War

A talented female sharpshooter fighting for the Red Army in Turkestan misses her forty‑first target, a handsome White lieutenant, and is forced to escort him by boat to a detention camp across the Aral Sea. A sudden storm wrecks the vessel, leaving the two opponents stranded on a deserted island, where the barren landscape and the lingering scars of the civil war compel them into a tense, intimate standoff that blurs the line between duty and desire.
