Here is the famous opera and ballet theater, the famous ballet school, whose graduates dance on the best stages in the world, and a grateful, understanding and appreciating public. But, probably, not everyone knows that it all began in the difficult years of the Great Patriotic War, when the Kirov Theater (now the Mariinsky Theater) and the Vaganov Ballet School were evacuated to the city of Molotov (as Perm was then called) from Leningrad, which was already practically blockaded by the Nazis. Then began this evacuation romance that continues to this day.

The focus of the film is on undoubted values, and the criterion is that which has stood the test of time. It is Time that becomes the main "censor" of 10 plots, it is it that determines what to keep for eternity and what to consign to oblivion forever. Each plot of the program strives to become a kind of mini-film with a dramatic basis, conflict and a super-task. The task is to tell simply about the “complex”, to reveal the depth and versatility of the “simple”.

The Body of the War is a documentary dance which appears in the gap between Victoria's experience of the outside environment in peaceful Sweden and the inner world full of the war in Ukraine. Her body has become the body of the war. She is searching within herself to find where the war resides. Is it stocked in the cracks, wounds of the body, hair, skin pores, feet, bends and lengths of the body? The film is divided in three chapters and locations that are linked to specific places in Ukraine. The rock on a beach brings Victoria back to houses in ruins, a wheat field on a beautiful day reminds her of the burning fields in south of Ukraine and the safe landscape and statue of the Barsebäcks power plant is a stark contrast to the reality of the Zaporizhzhia NPP which is under constant military attack by the Russian army.
