Life Begins

A war veteran struggles to readjust to civilian life after participating in fierce battles. He finds it difficult to find his place, even at home.  A phone conversation with a combat friend, memories of the fallen, constant body pain and anxiety all serve to reveal how difficult it is for a veteran to exist in a peaceful life. The film ends abruptly, emphasizing the incompleteness and difficulty of veterans’ return to normal life, which is full of shadows of war.
