At the heart of the film is the story of a young talented artist Kiril, in whose fate persistently puts a weapon in his hand instead of a brush. Demanding from him the life of a warrior, not a painter.

But Kiril is already a warrior and he goes to war. The connection with the beloved was lost due to hostilities; dreams of the future were destroyed.
Kiril and Katia meet again after twenty years by coincidence in another war in Ukraine. Hybrid warfare is a new phenomenon in their lives. We have not yet adapted to it.
