Nina is a Ukrainian language teacher who can’t leave her city occupied by separatists in Eastern Ukraine. Andrii is a student who was orphaned in the aftermath of the war. They cross paths when Nina witnesses Andrii being arrested by the police for a trifle. Nina immediately knows that she has to help Andrii, because they live in a world of injustice and lies, so Andrii might end up staying in jail for a long time.
