    • A fragile love story between a boy and a girl in today's post-revolutionary Ukraine.
      Anton, a former enfant prodige composer who couldn’t handle his obsession with music, returns to Ukraine after a long period in rehab for drugs and alcohol.
      Katia, an ordinary girl living on the outskirts of Kyiv, is planning to move to Berlin with her boyfriend, a German photographer.
      Two bewildered, lost young people who meet at a crucial point in their lives for a few days of happiness together in a shattered society in search of a new national identity.

      A story about the post-revolutionary generation of young Ukrainian people looking for their place in a modern Ukraine.The story is set exactly one year after the Maidan Square revolt and expresses feelings of a generation who have no idea who they are anymore or what their identity is, so the only way is to be right here, right now.
