In the midst of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Jana embarks on a journey of love on the one hand and great chaos on the other. In a war zone, she must deal with heartbreak, resolve family conflicts, and deepen her relationship with Yaroslava, a woman battling brutal lung cancer. The city around them is engulfed in violence and destruction, but their love grows as they brave the merciless storm of war.
Captured over the course of a year, the story is an intimate look at Jana’s journey towards love and happiness in a world that is crumbling and disappearing before her eyes. Despite life’s complexities, love offers comforting hope and peace.
