One country. One minibus. Many journeys. This fly-on-the-wall film captures Ukrainians as they are forced to leave their homes and drive into the unknown.

What does it look like to flee from a war? This gentle film explores the raw, human cost of conflict. Each new passenger, whether women or men, young or old, has first-hand experience of the Russian invasion, and a spectrum of emotions surfaces in the car transporting them to safety. Children mutely read books, a woman weeps for the cow she’s left behind, others are lost for words… And beyond the confines of the minibus is rural Ukraine – a vast landscape littered with the carnage of war.
