The events of the last year of the life of two prominent scientists, the father and mother of the author of the film, throw a new light on the Soviet state terror in the field of biology and genetics. The combination of a love story and a political investigation makes the painting a unique human document. The style of the film and the method of narration are due to the fact that the author is categorically against imaginary objectivity and for the most personal intonation of a witness of those events that only he knows about today, with the help of which real objectivity can still be achieved.

Set against the war in Ukraine, this documentary delves into the complex relationship between a Russian mother and her daughter, who is marrying a Ukrainian citizen. Through phone conversations and nostalgic VHS tapes of family gatherings, the film raises profound questions about the meaning of family, love, and the impact of war on human relationships. It offers a poignant reflection on the universal human desire to maintain connections with our roots, even amidst the most challenging circumstances, and the catastrophic influence of politics on the people’s private life.

Liza's desire to go insane and commit herself to a mental hospital seems logical in Putin's Russia. Love for a young man who is about to be taken to war and the conciliatory position of parents towards the war in Ukraine literally do not allow the young girl, who is on the verge of despair, to breathe.

DOM is about a lost generation of young Russians. Arriving from places all over Russia, they now live in an improvised private shelter in Tbilisi in Georgia. They are ordinary citizens who had never considered emigration. They do not belong to the famous avant-garde of resistance but are still committed to an open and democratic civil society. Since Putin started the war more than half a million Russians are said to have left Russia. They are threatened not by tanks or missiles, but by the regime's ever-increasing repression, which hits any criticism of the war and any form of civic activism. Forced to leave their homeland by Putin’s war, they live as digital dissidents searching for a new home.

Humanity is a cancer of the Earth, and mental psychosis is a cancer of humanity. But no one has invented an effective medicine and has not cured us. Perhaps this will never happen. Even stronger viruses and diseases will appear. And human nature will always strive to find a placebo. Human diseases are directly related to life activity, lifestyle, behavior, and genetic predisposition. We cannot exclude the fact that some of them, the most deadly ones, also kill humanity at the verbal level. What if we are the very killing and saving cells in the immune system of our large human body living on planet Earth?

“Why do Czech tourists every year in beach shoes fall down the steep slopes of our coast, why do they sail into the open sea towards inevitable death on unsuitable catamarans? The fact is that in spirit they remain cartoon characters of our common past, Pat and Mat, Bolek and Lolek. They refuse to grow up, and I envy them,” says Croatian journalist Boris Dezhulovich in his article “The Unfortunate Tourist Švejk”. Will Croats help us see ourselves without rose-colored glasses? Is it possible to bring something else from a seaside vacation besides a tan and cleansed lungs? What does the fact that a million of us go on holiday to Croatia say about the Czechs? How do we dress there, where we live, how do we spend our days there, what do we eat, how do we have fun in the evenings?
