A group of acting students are forced to move to Western Ukraine at the start of the war, where they try to continue their studies. They dream of becoming professional actors, despite everything that has happened. But the graduation performance, which the students prepared before the war, impedes that - it is based on the play "The Bear" by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Some students refuse to take part in the play, thus jeopardizing the entire group's graduation. They look for a solution and want to understand why, among thousands of other plays, they had chosen a work of Russian culture, which is now "saving" them with bombs.
