Enemies
Enemies
It is the spring of 1913. The Balkan Wars are underway. A Turkish battleship is terrorizing the Bulgarian army with its long-range weapons. A group of desperate Bulgarian soldiers is trying to transport a boat overland, in order to use it as a torpedo to sink the Turkish battleship. Along the way, the Bulgarians encounter some Turkish soldiers, who gradually transform from enemies to friends. The disagreements between the Bulgarians themselves might turn out to be more powerful than their hatred towards their enemies.
