What happens

The Mountain (Turkish: Dağ), also known as Forgotten Soldiers, is a 2012 Turkish drama film directed by Alper Çağlar. The film tells a fictional story in which a duty team sent from a troop to repair a field antenna suddenly falls into an ambush. One short and one long term soldier, the only ones to survive, finally put an end to the war between themselves and join hands for the struggle against the real enemy, carrying only two rifles, four magazines, a broken antenna and their survival instincts. The mountain is a heroic tale of two young soldiers who discover brotherhood and fortitude. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
