Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Ksenia lives in a Russian border town after the occupation of her Ukrainian hometown, while her 9 year-old brother Serhii has been adopted by a Russian family on the other side of the country. Determined to return to Ukraine, she travels across Russia to bring him back. But when they finally meet, she discovers he now believes the propaganda and sees her as an enemy. Ksenia must find a way to remind him of who they once were before their shared past disappears.
