The film portrays a generation of young Russians between 2018 and 2022. Alika, Alyona, and Katya are rebels and anarchists and part of a global youth who dream of living a modern life in freedom. A pervasive sense of anxiety and restlessness about their future haunts them, and after Russia invades Ukraine, they find themselves in a new reality that requires difficult choices. In their quest for love, friendship, and the dream of escaping Putin's Russia, they live in uncertainty, where longing is replaced by difficult emotions and attempts to repress reality. An intimate and poetic view of the current living conditions and the urgent decisions faced today by young Russians who cannot see a future in their native country.

“Where is the human soul? Is it in the heart? In the brain? Or maybe elsewhere?”, wonders an old doctor who has spent his life working at a psychiatric hospital in the Siberian countryside. The place, which was inaccessible for film crews, can be shown thanks to its residents, some of whom spent several decades at the hospital. This discreet and, at the same time, insightful observation of the patients’ daily lives transforms into meditation on the human nature, which is not entirely penetrable.

Oleg Sentsov is a Ukrainian filmmaker, Euromaidan activist and native of Crimea. After the Russian annexation of Crimea, he became an active opponent of the occupation. In May 2014 he was arrested by the Russian security service, charged with planned terrorist attacks and transported to Moscow. After over a year in custody, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, despite the fact that the testimonies were given under duress and evidence was insufficient. Sentsov never pled guilty. Director Askold Kurov follows the progress of the trial and the attempts of Oleg’s family, friends and lawyers to save him from prison. The notorious case inspired protests around the world: the European Film Academy and many renowned filmmakers such as Pedro Almodovar, Wim Wenders, Agnieszka Holland, Ken Loach, Johnny Depp and others called for Oleg’s release. Kurov’s investigation gradually reveals an absurd and frightening Kafkaesque story about how anyone can become a victim of a ruthless state machine.

Spread by the wind, the black ashes carry alarming news: the forest is on fire and the flames are fast approaching.

An essay-style narrative recounting the war through the perspectives of three generations of women. Olga, her mother (a pathologist working in a morgue, where she surprisingly feels safe during bomb attacks), and her grandmother engage in frequent video calls. Recordings of their conversations are interspersed with photos and videos from the family archive, news reports, and images portraying Ukrainian history of the last century. The result is a kaleidoscopic and personal film. Fluidly traversing through time, it draws connections between the current violence in Donbas and the destruction during WW2.

A man in the twilight is planting a tree, looking for the horses of smiling Galina in the fog, stroking the dog, lying on the warm autumn ground, pulling black clay from the bottom of the river, eating hot white bread. And all this is permeated with the expectation of great love. The expectation is so quiet that sometimes it seems to Yura himself that he is "like a tree waiting for nothing or waiting, like a tree waiting winter."

The man repairs his fishing net and walks to the bridge. Two trams drive into each other, but no one is hurt, and the cables are put in place the same day. A small concert is given for the factory workers, and the sincere performance of the violinist makes them cry. Bombs fall into the sea, but no one notices them. Daily life is defined by things like bomb threats in Mariupol, a city in Ukraine east of Crimea, once inhabited by Greeks. This is a visually powerful homage to the city in times of a crisis, dedication to its poets and shoemakers.

However, they don't always succeed. But Roman doesn't care. He is happy that his parents give him the most important thing that an eight-year-old boy can have — absolute freedom. Freedom to roam the narrow streets of the Old Town, swim in the sea, climb fences or search the ruins. It doesn't even cross his mind that it can be dangerous. What matters the most is that he is loved.
