In 2014 millions of people in East Ukraine found themselves between two fires at the break of a fratricidal war, facing an unenviable choice: to live in constant fear for own lives and those of their relatives - or to abandon their homes and leave. Two sisters, Natasha and Dasha, choose different paths amidst the dramatic events unfolding around them as Dasha decides to stay in a city of Luhansk under constant shelling, and Natasha with her five kids flees into the unknown towards the Russian border. Following their story, the filmmaker tries to understand the motivations behind the two opposing groups in this controversial conflict, and her investigation leads her to unexpected results.
