In March 2022, after Russian forces occupied the Ukrainian city of Bucha, dozens of civilians were killed on Yablunska Street over the course of three days. Russian authorities later claimed that the footage of the massacre had been staged. However, testimony from survivors indicates that many civilians were not killed accidentally — they were deliberately targeted. Using CCTV recordings, drone footage, and military documents, the Ukrainian Service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reconstructed a detailed account of the bloodiest days on Yablunska Street and identified some of the officers involved in these crimes.

In the center of the story is the amateur women's choir of the city of Tikhvin. Each of its participants is an ordinary woman who in everyday life is completely unrelated to the stage. Some of them are a shop assistant, someone is engaged in garbage collection, and someone even works as a loader to provide themselves with shelter and food. But all of them are united by a love of music and hope for a brighter future. The arrival of the Italian delegation in the city becomes a real glimpse among the gray everyday life of our protagonists, and their dreams at this moment seem even more illusory.

The film is almost speechless. Because it's about the value of sound. And about the deaf. These people differ from those who hear only in that they live in absolute silence, but this does not mean at all that they are flawed or unhappy. The world of silence is just as interesting and significant for them as for those who hear it is the world of sounds.

The author defines the genre of the picture as a film novel. A very personal story of pride, betrayal, disappointment, and the beginning of a new life. Russia. 2007. Presidential elections are to be held exactly one year later. The political opposition is determined to take decisive action and dreams of taking power into its own hands. But politics in the film is just a background, an environment in which the main characters exist. The film is not about politics, but about people in politics and politics in people. For the heroes of the film (and they are, in fact, the archetypal characters of Russian history, carriers of the "virus" of the revolution), this year is a test and a starting point for a new life.

Memories. Painful memories. The film is a journey. It is enclosed in three conditional spaces, namely, a hostel for internally displaced persons, abandoned in an empty field, who exist outside the present and future, with a torn, burned past. Twilight cold Moscow with a Chechen guy wandering through its streets, the vocalist of the Dead Dolphins group, Artur, who remembers his once beloved city, but does not want to return and see the place where his house used to be. Emaciated, abandoned by the souls that once inhabited it, the city of Grozny, in which, for the first time after the war, a Russian girl comes to see her home, return to her childhood and "die in it", saying goodbye to him forever for all those who have lost his home and country.
