Taras and Olya, newlyweds, spend their honeymoon in their new apartment. At dawn on February 24, 2022, they are awakened by powerful explosions outside the window that herald the start of the Russian occupation. By exploring the relationship dynamics, fears and dramas of the couple, the feature film provides an unprecedented image of the war in Ukraine, far from official representations and focused on the personal experience of the victims, whose daily lives are constantly threatened.
