In a small village in the Ukrainian countryside, Nina, a grandmother deeply attached to her land, welcomes her granddaughter Yana for what appears to be a simple holiday. But in reality, she is trying to hide the war that is ravaging the country from her granddaughter by creating an imaginary world where everything is fine. But the child’s astuteness gradually cracks the old woman’s illusions. Nina must face her real problem: finding the courage to leave her hometown.
