25 February 2022. War-torn Ukraine. Seventeen-year-old hearing-impaired Olga, along with her father Roman, stepmother Marina and younger brother Sashko, is about to embark on a dangerous journey to the west of the country to escape advancing Russian tanks. Tragedy strikes when Roman’s car is destroyed near their country house and the whole family is trapped amidst chaos and despair in the quiet town of Bucha near Kyiv. The Russians enter the house and effectively take the family as hostages, forcing Olga, who has been hiding to come out from her shelter.Roman is being beaten and interrogated. Marina and Sashko find themselves locked in the basement. Fleeing the violence, Olga establishes contact with a handsome young Russian soldier nicknamed Swan and negotiates to save the family in exchange for money. However, Swan turns out to be a scoundrel and, after receiving the money, tries to rape Olga. One of the soldiers, Private Shalaev unexpectedly stands up in defence of the girl, but is killed by his own soldiers. Olga is doomed. Besides, she learns from Marina that her father, whom she accused of betrayal for many years, is not really her own father. Swan gets permission to dishonour the girl and then execute her, but he is killed by the badly wounded Roman. Roman asks Olga to lead Marina and Sashko out of Bucha, as only she knows the way through the forest. Roman sacrifices himself to cover their retreat. Olga, Marina and Sashko try to evade pursuit and hide in the forest. Marina is killed in front of her son by a grenade thrown by a Russian sergeant. Olga, who has lost her hearing aid, makes a last effort to save her younger brother. But after getting lost in the forest, she stumbles into a military roadblock. Hope is lost. Olga is sure that this is the last moment in their lives.
