The series begins on 31 December 2021. The protagonist, Svyatoslav, makes a long-awaited proposal to Marina, but the joyful moment is interrupted by a call from his ex-wife asking him to come to the aid of his son. In the end, all the problems are resolved and the characters meet the new year 2022 with the hope that it will be peaceful. Some of them believe in a full-scale invasion, others think that all the talk of a big war is just hype, but in general, they live their everyday lives and want to believe in the best, until they wake up to explosions on 24 February.

To escape the rocket attacks, Sviatoslav, like many Kyiv residents in the first days of the full-scale invasion, goes to his mother's house in the countryside, where he gathers his pregnant fiancée, son, ex-wife and mother-in-law under one roof. Relations between the women become increasingly tense, and Sviat is unable to make a final choice between the past and the future.

A few days later, the town is occupied and the Russians start shooting civilians. To escape, the characters must find a common language and use their only chance to evacuate.
