Yura, a pragmatic biologist searching for an endangered marmot species on the Ukrainian steppe, witnesses a mysterious act of arson. Determined to expose the crime, he turns to local newspapers but is met with indifference. His pursuit of justice pulls him into a surreal world of fake news, political corruption, and societal absurdities that shatter his naive worldview. With dark humor, Roman Bondarchuk (Volcano, GFF 2019) reflects on Ukraine's turbulent socio-political landscape, offering a truly unique and thought-provoking experience that highlights the complexities of seeking truth in an increasingly paradoxical reality.
