Hnutove, Donbass, eastern Ukraine, 2015. Young Oleg lives in a war zone where anti-aircraft gunshots and missile attacks often resonate dangerously near. Although many inhabitants have already left this dangerous area, he remains with his grandmother, who has cared for him since his mother's death, because they have nowhere to go. They are just waiting for the war to end.

A different angle on the horrors of war, showing another tragic victim: childhood innocence. The filmmaker also impressively manages to be almost invisible while also very cinematic
