Olena is going home, to the village in the 'grey zone' of Russian-Ukrainian war where she spent her childhood. In the garden, her brother has planted mustard to prevent weeds from getting into their neighbours' garden. The girl lies down in the prickly grass and recalls how big and tasty the apricots, cherries, pears used to be...

Mariupol is an industrial city on Azov sea. I went there as a young sailor 20 years ago. The places alive in my memory are mostly destroyed. The battle-line of the Russian-Ukrainian war is just nearby the city. In the night I can hear the bombing. However, I am looking the miracle there.

SYNOPSIS

Victor and Oleksandr live in the mining towns of two geographically remote regions of Ukraine. While their lives and the lives of their relatives revolve around mines, there is another side. Who they really are? What makes them go underground every day?

Kramatorsk may not be the nicest place a town of factories and broken infrastructure but its denizens find much to love there, reflecting on their home with frankness and warmth.
