From inside the team of military paramedics led by a Dutch volunteer, we experience the interwoven fates and profound humanity of ordinary people amid the brutality of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The viewer becomes part of a military paramedic team rescuing the wounded on the frontlines of the Russo-Ukrainian war. At the center are Dutch volunteer Bono and Ukrainian medic Natalia, who evacuate soldiers, train newcomers, and navigate the daily struggle between fear and duty. Alongside them is doctor Tim, a former semi-professional dancer whose past life now feels like a distant memory. The film unfolds in vivid episodes: a medic who paints between missions, a mother reading bedtime stories to her children via video call, a doctor longing to return to heart surgery. The audience is not merely watching—they are immersed, drawn into a reality that leaves no one unchanged.
