Drama showed that soldier is guarding tower and his wife rushes to war zone to call her husband as she has no hope of him returning home, at same time an enemy soldier is captured. It is very similar to prisoner soldier (husband of woman), woman tries her best to explain to both of them that there is no war between you and your commanders have instigated you to fight while price of war is paid only by your soldiers. Not commanders you’ve never fought or met, they’re only connected to you wirelessly. In end, everyone is killed and new soldier takes his place. Audience applauds performance of Iranian theatre group.
