The documentary tells the stories of Ukrainian veterans, active-duty soldiers, female combat medics, and volunteers as they navigate the path of rehabilitation through theater. At its heart are personal stories, rehearsals, internal transformations, and the attempt to reinterpret their experiences through art. The film observes the creation of a theatrical project where creativity serves as a tool for recovery, socialization, and returning to life after war — turning the stage into a space of trust, support, and new beginnings.

An immersion into the consciousness of two artists, Bandit and Johnny, who have always viewed the world through the prism of their art. Their paint was an expression of freedom, a protest the system. They believed they understood the world — but the war in Ukraine tears that illusion apart.
