Video - Escape from the Caucasus

A Daring Escape: A Tale from the Caucasus (Inspired by Leo Tolstoy's "A Prisoner in the Caucasus") [Scene 1: Bright, sunny mountain landscape] Narrator: (Warm, friendly voice) In the heart of the towering Caucasus Mountains, where eagles soared and snow-capped peaks kissed the clouds, lived a brave young Russian soldier named Ivan. (A young man in a Russian soldier's uniform, Ivan, walks through a field of wildflowers, looking around curiously.) Narrator: But Ivan wasn't on a friendly visit. His country was at war with the fierce Caucasian tribes, and he found himself a prisoner, captured by a tribe led by the mighty Khan. (A group of fierce-looking men on horseback surround Ivan. They wear traditional clothing and carry swords.) Khan: (Gruff voice, with a thick accent) You are a brave soldier, Ivan, but you fight for the wrong side! Now you will serve me! Ivan: (Determined voice) I will never give up my honor! One day, I will escape!
