Zheka, from a provincial town, lives all alone and sees no prospects for his future. He buried his ambitious dreams of making it big a long time ago and now only raps at local weddings from time to time. 

His life changes in an instant when he learns of the existence of his eight-year-old daughter in the capital. Zheka sets off for Kyiv to prove to her that he is worthy of being a father, but accidentally stumbles upon the auditions for a major music show.  

The glossy and cynical world of television becomes his only chance to be heard by his own daughter, to make amends for past mistakes and to find true love.

In 1991, members of the Ukrainian diaspora from Canada and the United States travelled to their homeland. They promoted the ideals of democracy and urged people to vote in favour of Ukrainian independence in the referendum. 

The film is based on these people’s memories and their personal archives. The unique footage includes the first rallies against Soviet rule, clashes with the security forces, exclusive accounts from those who took part in the events, and a glimpse into life in Soviet Ukraine at the time, with all its hardships, fears and absurdities.

This is a story about how freedom is not just a right, but also a responsibility. And the actions of one ordinary person can truly change the course of history. The film explores little-known aspects of events that everyone is familiar with: the struggle for Ukraine’s independence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and recounts the role played by the Ukrainian diaspora in these processes.

The film traces the life of Andrii Kuzmenko (1968–2015) from his youth to his rise as one of Ukraine’s most famous musicians and media personalities; it explores his inner transformations, his self-deprecating humour, and his life lived at full throttle, which still captivates us today.

The film explores Kuzma Skryabin as a figure of cultural memory who, even decades after his passing, remains a living and influential presence.

The film is based on a real-life special story of the world's first drone rescue, where a famous American journalist finds himself in the middle of a rescue operation conducted by the 3rd Special Forces Brigade, the Security Service of Ukraine and the GUR.

The mission of the operation was to extract a wounded married couple from an intersection in the occupied territory, where their car came under heavy enemy fire. However, everything becomes extremely complicated when it turns out that the life of another person is at stake: The journalist's 14-year-old daughter, who has been taken hostage by the enemy. The journalist, who until recently had been an observer of the events taking place in Ukraine, quickly becomes their protagonist. The Russians demand that he be exchanged for the girl, and the operation gains worldwide publicity with the participation of the US intelligence services, turning into a desperate struggle for life.

The film features the involvement of real servicemen and veterans of the Ukrainian Defence Forces, including the 3rd Separate Special Forces Brigade, the Security Service of Ukraine (CSO A), the GUR and the military community.
