At the beginning of russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, Serhii (20 y.o.) moved to the west of the country in search of safety. This cold city at the very beginning of spring seems completely alien to him. People there don't seem to notice the changes, which is very paradoxical compared to other regions. Serhii works as a volunteer unloading humanitarian aid trucks and tries to earn some money to help his mother. He lives in an ordinary school gym, like many of the newly arrived refugees. His mother stayed in the occupied territory to look after her father, but over time it became more and more dangerous for her to stay there. Serhii constantly tries to persuade mother to move and seems to succeed, but the phone connection between them is lost. The next day, Serhii finds out about the shooting of a civilian convoy that could have included his mum. He tries to find a way to get to the frontline town where she was heading, but it seems impossible, as there are no buses or trains going there. He decides to steal the keys to the warehouse manager's car and go there to find his mother. Serhii drives along the road, among the snowy fields, not knowing what awaits him there. We leave him on his way, a person who tried so hard to appear adult, but is still a kid.
