Waves Die On The Shore

The story

When the war broke out, two brothers—Askhat and Murat—left for the front. Only Askhat returned home. Murat, however, was taken prisoner; he ended up in Germany, where he was recruited into an intelligence school. After the war, he lived in the West. Thirty-five years later, Murat—now an agent for the anti-Soviet émigré community—returned to his native village as a tourist. His former fiancée, Bermet, had married Askhat, and the couple was now raising their grandchildren. Upon learning that Bermet had given birth to a daughter back during the war, Murat realized that both the daughter and the grandchildren were his. Yet, he made no claims to them; instead, he silently accepted the role of a mere observer—and in that capacity, he returned to Munich.
