- Nelia is an owner of Omelko’s House, a country house museum of folk domestic life in the village of Kozubivka, Poltava region. Nelia and her husband Oleksandr are helping relocated people who have fled from bombing and shelling attacks in Kharkiv to adapt in the village. They are becoming friends with one another.
  Due to the war, Nelia is very anxious about famine. To help the displaced people from Kharkiv have enough food, she gives them a big garden patch and planting seeds, where they plant potatoes and vegetables.
  
  Over time, it becomes evident that the people who moved here from the city are not ready for hard physical work on the land plot because they hope the war will end soon. Without proper care, the planted harvest starts degrading.
  Will they be able to find a compromise and save the vegetable garden and their relationships?
