	Shoghakat Vardanyan's younger brother, Soghomon, 21, a musician, was close to completing his mandatory military service when the Artsakh (]) War broke out on September 27, 2020. On the seventh day of the war, Soghomon disappeared in the war zone without a trace.

			Six months after his disappearance, human remains were found, but it took over a year and a half for the family to receive the results of a DNA test confirming whether the remains were indeed Soghomon's.
	Though Shoghakat had never studied filmmaking, the overwhelming emotions her family experienced compelled her to grab her phone and document their daily ordeal. Initially, there was no intention to create a film—she simply recorded moments as her family waited, hoping for Soghomon’s return. Over the 44 days of the war, hope and despair alternated.

	Shoghakat continued filming her family for another two years as they searched for Soghomon, wavering between hope and resignation. In 2021, a DNA match confirmed that bones found on the battlefield belonged to him. In 2022, the family finally received official notice of his death. Soghomon’s remains were coded as 1489—“Body of individual missing in action.”

	While this number provided bitter closure, it brought an end to their uncertainty—a resolution that many families of missing soldiers still await.
