Synopsis
A man disappears in Chechnya. Despite the fact that witnesses observed state police taking him away, nobody knows where he is. His relatives even receive conflicting information that provides them with no concrete answers. The man's family takes comfort in the fact that they are not alone. Many of their neighbors and relatives have gone through the same experience or have themselves returned from "the place of no return". In Chechnya, this place is known as "Barzakh". According to an old Sufi legend, this is a place somewhere between life and death that belongs to neither of these worlds. Barzakh is a realm that can be found in a dream--a place where you can learn things that would otherwise remain unknown.
