Ten-year-old Oleg lives in a small village in the eastern part of Ukraine – a warzone that often echoes with anti-aircraft fire and missile strikes. Oleg lives here with his grandmother, who has taken care of him since the death of his mother. Life becomes increasingly difficult with each passing day, and the war offers no end in sight. In this now half-deserted village where Oleg and Alexandra are the only true constants in each other’s lives, the film witnesses the gradual erosion of the child’s innocence beneath the pressures of war without failing to shows just how fragile, but crucial, close relationships are for survival.
