Since motion pictures began to flourish as a medium, one film studio has produced more movies and spent more money doing it than any other. That studio is the United States Government.

Mid 1930s On a small Pacific island at the entrance to Zolotaya Bay, there is a garrison of the NKVD border guard. The son of the lighthouse keeper Fyodor Burov arrives on the island with a spy mission. One morning, he sets fire to the lighthouse and takes a boat to the sea. The Chekist border boat team is given the task of meeting uninvited guests disguised as a fishing boat. A schooner with Japanese saboteurs is captured, and the Chekist leads her away. On board the schooner, Fyodor Burov gets discovered and detained. Meanwhile, a Japanese warship is landing on the island. A small detachment, commanded by senior lieutenant Nazarov, manages to restrain the onslaught of the enemy before the appearance of border guards and bomber planes.

The first dead body I ever saw, was the one from Muammar al-Qaddafi. My first encounter with the Libyan Revolution was when I was working for German TV. Since there is never enough time to get close to the people in the evening news I decided to travel there alone. The people in Benghazi were already free for 4 months at the time and convinced me to go further to the besieged city of Misrata. Al of a sudden I found myself at the front line, protected by the revolutionaries, and, of course, by Allah.
