War. Zhangra Sh.

In distant peaceful Canada, a family lives. Laurence is fifteen, nine hatch, and Matilde is less than a year. Life changes one day, when dad, on which everything was held at home, decides to go to the war in Afghanistan as part of a peacekeeping mission. All familiar family roles collapse, and instead of them reign fear, fierce and misunderstanding. While the father runs the risk of dying in a strange war, his own, internal war comes to their house. To survive it, some will have to grow up prematurely.
