The film does not have a main character, but instead explores the experience of war through the prism of the collective and the individual: those forced to flee, those who take up arms, those who lose their homes or are left to live among the ruins. The film shows people's reactions to aggression and violence, to the change in the space in which they live, and their adaptation to a new reality.

The story is about Nazar and Max, two guys from Ukraine, and an old Soviet bike, and the ambitious goal they set themselves to beat the world speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA. This dry salt desert is the meeting point for hundreds of people from all over the world, who spend millions of dollars on their quest to become the next speed racing champion. Nazar and Max spend all their time assembling their bike in a small garage on the outskirts of Kyiv, travelling hundreds of miles and overcoming countless obstacles to make their dreams come true.
