lI've just arrived. No, I'm staying in Moscow.
Things seams to have calmed down there a little.
Not today, I think. No, I've
promised to stay at home.
Is there anything you wanted?
Not now, I just can't
talk at the moment.
No, I've come to see cinematographists.
Oh, no, I'm not an actor. I've
written the screenplay. Ok, see you.
- Hi.
- Hello. Have a sit.
Are we going to make a movie?
Listen. This is a really great story.
Tell me. Is this a truth?
Truth?
The truth is even scarier.
When did you meet them?
About..2 or 3 days before the war.
You want to go to South Osetia?
Yes. You'll get a report,
and I'll get a course paper.
South Osetia....it's Georgia, I think?
Yes. You have to get a georgian
visa and fly to Tbilisi.
Should I go there via Tbilisi?
If they find out that you're a reporter, they'll not give
you the visa. Better go to Vladikavkaz, and then to Tshinvali.
Just that simple? With foreign passport?
Don't you have a usual one? You
can go there with russian passport.
All citizens of the USA are recommended to
get 12 vaccinas before entering this area.

- And how about vaccinations?
- What kind ofvaccinations?
Just don't drink from a puddle.

I think euro, everybody has it.
Even in Ukraine I think.
