On 24 February 2022, Yevhen, together with his friends, volunteered to join the first aid battalion on the front line. They provided life-saving support and evacuation of the injured. This film reveals the experiences of these young men over six months full of drama, despair, fear, hatred, bitterness, love, and, most importantly, faith in victory. As they left for the front, they sent their families to the rear – to a village in western Ukraine. All of them come to this idyllic place for a couple of days to baptise the nine-month-old son of one of our protagonists. As soon as they rise from the celebratory feast, they have to go back to the front…

Part of the money taken from the sale of tickets will be used for medical evacuation vehicles.
