2014 – the first year of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. After his capture, the surgeon Serhiy is confronted with violence, torture, and killing. His return home is deeply affected by the trauma he has been through, and his adolescent daughter becomes an important companion on this journey back… Working with a level of precision not unlike that demanded by his main character’s profession, Valentyn Vasyanovych (the film’s director, screenwriter, DOP, and editor) has arranged a series of symmetrically composed static footage that lets the viewer taste Serhiy’s fear, desperation, and sense of helplessness. During the second, no less painful part of Serhiy’s journey, he tries to answer the question of how to live on after having experienced such horrors.
