In late February 2022 Russia, the Ponomarev family continues their normal routine despite the outbreak of the war with Ukraine. However, Lena is deeply concerned and attempts to engage her family in discussions about the conflict. When her efforts fail, Lena takes drastic action and participates in a protest to demonstrate the injustice of the Russian system. Her subsequent arrest does not change her family's views and leads to a final break in their relationship, resulting in Lena's eviction from the flat.
