The film tells the story of three children waiting for their fate to be decided: either to return to their old home or to move to a new one. Meanwhile, social workers give the children moments of joy and peace and bring them back to their almost lost childhood. The film director addresses the topic of the long-term consequences of war, and offers to look at the imprint that war leaves on the most vulnerable part of society. 

The film, directed by Simon Lereng Wilmont, is nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film. The film Navalny is also nominated in this category.
