Anton has just been released from rehab. His grandfather, a man of stern principles who’s brought him up from a young age, takes him off to the country, far from the lure of the big city. One night Anton meets Katia, who, like him, is trying to find her bearings in life. Katia is set to leave for Berlin with her German boyfriend but the two slowly fall in love.

“An arrestingly well-shot debut that, through a beautifully performed love story, brings a fresh perspective on contemporary Ukraine” - Jessica Kiang, Variety.
