FILM DESCRIPTION:

With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes and flee the war. Many found refuge in the town of Uzhhorod in the Zakarpattia Oblast. Despite the anti-aircraft sirens sounding here from time to time, it is still a quiet and secluded place. With the arrival of refugees, humanitarian aid initiatives began to emerge. The refugees themselves also participate in these activities: they work in canteens serving free meals, weave camouflage nets, take care of children, and organize cultural events. Local activist Vyacheslav Yegorov decides to put his dream into life: to stage Shakespeare's play "King Lear," starring amateurs recruited from among the war refugees. Former teachers, artists, engineers, salesmen and housewives are trying to find themselves in the new reality. Participation in the show helps them to navigate the drama of life as the director attempts to help them find answers to eternal questions about love and the meaning of life.
