Summary

After surviving the horrors of Russian occupation, the residents of Bucha, Ukraine, are rebuilding their city from the rubble. A newly married couple, a schoolgirl, a city official, and a housewife have all endured the painful experiences of war, yet they manage to hold onto hope and solidarity. But how do you rebuild in the wake of growing trauma, especially with war still raging in your country? As hopes for a peaceful life fade, they must grapple with mounting tensions within their communities. Shot over a three-year period, the film follows five protagonists navigating the complex terrain of inner conflicts, trauma, and a longing for justice, posing questions about the future of a society at war.
