Synopsis:
Sonia and Ania are two teenagers who meet in a summer camp in Crimea, where the Russian authorities bring Ukrainian children allegedly for a vacation but in fact for deportation. Friendly and open minded Sonia doesn’t have much in common with sociophobic Ania except for their resistance to the camp rules and determination to go back to the government-controlled part of Ukraine. But their way home will be marred by hard choices, bitter losses and multiple tests of their friendship.
