They met in Crimea as enemies: the slaughterman Fedor, disappointed in life, and Katya, a former prisoner, deprived of maternity rights, who became a foreigner in her homeland. Sometimes grief unites.

Ukraine. A crowd tries to trample a person into the ground. The verdict was pronounced. Suddenly a baby cried: "Daddy, daddy, do not kill my dad!" And people turned up, fists squeezed out. The sentence did not take place. The hall was light. The journalist who took off this story came out. The discussion of the film ends in a scandal and ends with the death of the author himself, who was killed directly on the doorstep of the cinema. Destroying the "enemies of Ukraine" in the "rear" was the purpose of a small group of a radical nationalist underground.

This is a realistic and terrible story of five participants in the war in Ukraine. The coffins of 30 pieces of silver, like the bribe for the death of a brother. Prosthesis, thrown on the judge's desk, instead of documents. Separatists in power and rampant corruption in the field. Rape in captivity. Prison on false accusations and declared hunger strike to death. Their manifesto, written in blood, carries the last of the remaining people on a wheelchair in Kiev to read it from the Maidan rostrum ... and put the president on the table.

The shooting on Maidan does not give rest to the former activist - his friend is killed. Seeking the culprits, he himself, along with his companion, is captured by a field commander, the callsign of an ideologist who seized part of the territory of Ukraine. Having established his laws, he does not obey anyone and commits lynching. Hostages fall into the family of three militant brothers. They try to exchange them. A period of 6 days is determined, otherwise death. But a series of conflicts that has arisen tears the family of militants from within.

He is a criminal, a thief. He is being pursued by the police. In the dump, in the snow, when he comes across a thrown newborn, he will have the choice - to save the baby or himself ...

Whilst the first shots ring out between pro-Russian government forces and members of the opposition in the winter of 2013, young Nina leaves Crimea. She was raped by a corrupt policeman, her friend was killed, and now she seeks refuge with the protesters on Maidan Square. Revolutionary chaos prevails, and it‘s not at all clear who remains loyal to whom and which means can be regarded as legitimate in the struggle for freedom. Ultimately Nina and her tormentors come face to face again and the spiral of violence is stepped up a further notch. The film was shot to a genuine backdrop, the result of which is a multifaceted allegory on the tragedy currently playing out in Ukraine.
