Nina is a Ukrainian language teacher who cannot leave her city occupied by separatists in Eastern Ukraine. Andrii is a student who was orphaned in the aftermath of the war. They cross paths when Nina witnesses Andrii being arrested by the police for a trifle. Nina immediately knows that she has to help Andrii, because they live in a world of injustice and lies. A striking drama showing international conflicts at an individual level.

The film is introduced by Helena Tomasson, freelancing cultural writer and MA in visual culture. She has a background in Ukraine and is fully aware of the situation in the country. After the screening Helena will make an interview online with the director of the film.
