Killing the Second Dog
Military experience and unfavourable economic conditions mean that the characters must show cunning and sometimes cruelty to survive another day. The ordinary human desire for love is subjected to a hard test. The tear between difficult emotional choices never brings fulfilment and always leaves a bitterness of failure. The past casts a shadow on the characters’ fates. Memories like lead bullets can hurt or even kill.The traumatic war experiences have left a deep mark on the characters’ psychology and do not allow them to forget the cruel past...The life in the Promised Land turns out not to be free of age-old human dilemmas
