ROLE: Soldier male actors, aged 25-55, of Eastern European nationality, whose second native language is Russian.

They are figures of authority within the captivity, maintaining control over the prisoners and establishing power dynamics based on fear and submission. These characters reflect the complexity of human nature in times of war. While they exert dominance with an air of confidence and control, they also reveal traits of arrogance and a false sense of superiority, which leads them to underestimate the resilience of those they oppress. Their presence in the story creates a constant atmosphere of tension and reinforces the contrast between vulnerability and strength. For actors, this role offers the opportunity to explore intense and challenging characters that go beyond simple antagonism, portraying the psychological depth and raw reality of a high-stakes situation.
