Years pass. Sani's mom dies and he is left completely alone. He is assigned to an orphanage, he bears a dream to find Anatoly and avenge his betrayal. And he succeeds. Meeting his stepfather, he shoots him.
Epilogue
At the end of the film, viewers are transported to the nineties. A train heading to Chechnya is shown. Sanya grew up, became a military man. But he did not forget about the man whom he once called his father. This happened when Anatoly and other convicts were sent to the stage. The scene in which the boy runs after the car is extremely soulful, emotional. But she is not inferior to the one in which the hero of Belyaev, meeting a man resembling Anatoly, suddenly rushes to him in order to make sure that his revenge did not happen.
