The film follows artists from Kharkiv who are caught in the large-scale war alongside millions of other Ukrainians. Each artist faces unique challenges, such as how to create amidst destruction, how to work within an atmosphere of horror and hatred, and how to find the strength to create artistic work that can inspire others. Presented with these challenges, each artist takes a different path. Art cannot stop the war, but it can remind us of our humanity. Ultimately, art is a material confirmation of the existence of the human soul.
