A man claiming to be a teacher is stopped by the military at a checkpoint. Two teenage girls wait for their soldier boyfriends in a destroyed town square. A journalist is held captive and brutally attacked. A young woman apologizes to an elderly couple for running over their chickens. Four stories set against the backdrop of the roads of Donbass, marked by confusion, paranoia and terror that challenge the notion of truth. The film won the Verona Film Club Award at the Venice International Critics' Week and is a Ukrainian candidate for an Academy Award.
