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.
