With the war escalating and extremist Islamic forces threatening to execute cinema owners on charges of corruption and immorality, all cinemas in the city closed down and cinema owners fled the city to save their lives. But Carlos makes an important decision. He sends his family abroad and stays alone in the war zone to save his cinema from imminent death. Now Carlos is running his own cinema amidst the war in Syria while hearing the sound of shooting and firing is considered normal.

In Georgia, in the 1930’s, a group of men stood up against the russian supressor. They where called Thieves-in-Law, and became a highly respected Mafia. Aleksandre gave his best to become a member. Willing to steal, to murder, he climbs the ladder to the hierarchy. In Siberias working camps, he leads a violent regime. Back home in Georgia, Mr.Saakashvili stopped the mafia. Aleksandre is in jail. Ending his life, he says "my life is a shambles".
