The film depicts one day from the life of a woman who fled her home because of the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Now her life consists of weekly German language courses, a low-paid job as cleaning staff in an office, and evening time alone with her thoughts. The main character is one of many who found themselves alienated and lost within the broken social connections with their past and present and uncertain thoughts about the future.
