Anti-war movie, filmed in Germany, but in Russian language. The cast is a mix of Russian and Ukrainian actors. This film debates the role of the people in the Russian anti-Ukrainian war movement and asks what is more important: truth or humanity.

The time of action is the beginning of March 2022, at the start of the war in Ukraine. The scene of action is a communal apartment block in the very center of St. Petersburg, Russia. Every evening anti-war demonstrations are held just outside. They are severely suppressed by the police. The inhabitants of the house unwittingly become participants in these events and involved in escape, unexpected meetings, disputes and even love. Which will probably turn out to be the third ingredient of this story.
