Ukrainian surgeon Serhiy finds himself caught in the brutal realities of war when he is captured by Russian military forces in the conflict zone of Eastern Ukraine. During his captivity, he witnesses unimaginable horrors—systematic humiliation, senseless violence, and a chilling disregard for human life. These experiences leave him deeply scarred, both physically and emotionally, as he struggles to reconcile the cruelty he has endured with the world he once knew.   After his release, Serhiy returns to his comfortable middle-class apartment, a stark contrast to the chaos of war. Though physically free, he remains haunted by the trauma of his captivity. The familiar surroundings feel alien, and the routines of daily life seem meaningless. He grapples with a profound sense of dislocation, unsure of how to reintegrate into a society that feels distant and indifferent to his suffering.   Determined to reclaim his humanity, Serhiy focuses on rebuilding his fractured relationships, particularly with his estranged daughter and ex-wife. He realizes that his absence has left wounds that go beyond his own trauma—his daughter, in particular, needs his love and guidance. Through small, tender moments, he slowly learns how to be a father again, rediscovering the simple yet profound connections that define a meaningful life.   The film poignantly explores themes of resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of human bonds. Serhiy’s journey is not just about survival but about relearning how to live—how to find purpose in the aftermath of devastation. His story serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.
