Synopsis: As the civil war in Denver escalates, the Hawk embassy is besieged by Denvari nationalists. Sedunnic King Vimmru Innien (Hejerr Remallu) is outgunned and wounded as he stands up against the besiegers. However, ammunition reserves deplete with each passing day and the ambassadorial staff begin to panic. The situation grows dire but a daring rescue mission is in the making back on Bailtem.
Private Alexandru Pițurcă (Constantin Stoica) is deployed on his first mission with the Stoinian Special Forces. It’s an overseas mission where his mettle will truly be tested. Though as he arrives in Denver, he struggles with his orders as he witnesses numerous atrocities take place around Hawk. Although his mission parameters prohibit any unnecessary intervention, his inner conscience struggles with the reality of a distant civil war.
Additional Information: This film is based on the official report of Operation Kestrel and interviews by military and civilian personnel from multiple nations. Operation Kestrel was a joint military coalition of special forces rescuing the ambassadorial staff in the Hawk embassy before the eventual nuking of the city.
The movie sends a strong message with a short sequence before the end credits about the nature of international politics where nations stand idly by as atrocities are committed. Instead of circular debates, the movie emphasizes the need for international action against savagery from past centuries.
