In 2025, Eastern Ukraine is a desert unsuitable for human habitation, water a dear commodity brought by trucks. Sergiy, a former soldier, meets Katya while she's on a humanitarian mission. Together, they try to return to some sort of normal life in which they are also allowed to fall in love again.

Ukrainian surgeon Serhiy is captured by the Russian military forces in the conflict zone in Eastern Ukraine and exposed to horrifying scenes of violence. Written, directed, produced, shot, and edited by acclaimed Ukrainian filmmaker Valentyn Vasyanovych. Named by Variety as "one of the most intellectually provocative and rewarding films" of the 2021 Venice Film Festival.
