Plot synopsis
In the most terrible and dark times a journalist has one simple job to record what is happening. The stories of eyewitnesses in order not to allow new history books to lie about what people saw with their own eyes. The people we met had very different life histories and political views. But the war did not make any of them happy. The war brought them trouble, destruction and death. The authors began to shoot this film almost immediately after the start of the war. Filming was long and difficult - thousands of kilometers, more than a hundred hours of recorded interviews, several dozen protagonists. But the main thing is grief, which cannot be measured in any quantities. This film is about the grief brought by the war and about people who are trying to survive.
