Shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion, 4 Ukrainian girls were forced to leave home and proceed their paths abroad, now living two lives at a time. The attempts to settle down in a foreign country are constantly interrupted by internal doubts, fear for the family back home, chats with friends who joined the army, and feelings of constant uncertainty about the future.

One night a young dreamer goes for a walk through the deserted city, forced by obsessive thoughts. The hero submerges into the bright lights of the streets, meets strangers, listens to pieces of theirs strange conversations. However, the further his walks, the more his surrounding changes: cold buildings of the industrial zone change the streetlights' warmth, a mysterious black car starts to follow him, and the metal cranes turn into weird creatures. The hero falls deeper into his thoughts. He examines his fears and ideals, losing the line between reality and the world in his head. Will he find what made him leave his home, or maybe he will be swallowed by the surrealistic realm he encountered?
