I just love the drunk, smoking firemen, like in a scene from Mad Max, pretending to extinguish a huge bonfire at a petrol installation.
After they finally put it off (with a tank shot !), we see bits of daily life in Grozny, before the city was to be obliterated by the Russian aviation, all culminating with a march of the Sufis through central Grozny. I will later post the complete collective trance ceremony (zikr), which was then held every Thursday afternoon, in front of the building of the government. Rough footage from my next movie "A Chechen Confession", about the Chechen Sufi Islam.
