    Synopsis

    Three soldiers are standing guard at the riverbank. Not a particularly dramatic situation – more a sort of Waiting for Godot. The documentary sets out in search of the 'frozen conflict' between the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria. Starting from the observation at the tri-lateral post, the film zooms outward onto the political level. Why have decades of negotiations never brought a solution? With surprising pieces of the puzzle, the film continues to shift our perspective on this political conflict and the interests of the main actors involved: Russia, Moldova and the West.
