The story of a lonely city surveillance worker who watches a street dog through cameras — a dog he has grown attached to but has never met in person.

Our days. Seventeen-year-old schoolgirl Zhenya comes from the "northern capital" to a border village in the Belgorod region to see her brother, a volunteer, before he leaves for the invasion of Ukraine. There she meets a local informal leader, call sign "Timur", and his team, also teenage “volunteers“, who not only help Zhenya see her brother, a tanker, while helping the Russian "security forces" eliminate Ukrainian civilians, but also completely change her outlook on life. And as it happens, the personal relationship between Zhenya and "Timur" goes beyond "just friendship".
