Overview
In the fall of 2014, a young Russian journalist Alexei Suvorov, who dreams of money and fame, travels to Donbass as part of a humanitarian mission to interview the famous battalion commander Lesentsov, who is fighting on the side of the militia. He intends to sell the collected material to a German publication, with which he cooperates in parallel and where he plans to get a permanent job. During the journey, Suvorov encounters numerous obstacles that always distance him from his intended goal. As a result, he is forced to act rashly, risk his life and make mistakes. His fellow travelers are people with different destinies and attitudes to what is happening.
