After the beginning of Russian full-scale invasion, 14 researchers embarks on a year-long expedition to an Antarctic research station. Their journey presents them with challenges of extreme weather conditions, the psychological toll of isolation and hard feeling caused by the war.
The first documentary film about the Ukrainian Arctic station. The project not only talks about the current state of science in Ukraine but also touches on the issues of the psychological state of scientists in extreme conditions of isolation and low temperatures as they grapple with the horrors of the full-scale war unfolding in their homeland, albeit so far away.
In the harsh conditions of life on the icy continent, they worry about their loved ones. They observe the fighting in Ukraine, fearing complete occupation by the enemy. However, the participants try to hold on.
