Everyday life is defined by bomb threats in Mariupol, a city in Ukraine on the shores of the Azov sea. The city seems calm but the encroaching conflict between pro-Russian rebels and the Ukrainian government forces can be felt everywhere. A theatre ensemble is rehearsing a piece to commemorate Victory Day on the 9th May, as they put their hearts into practicing their song and dance routines, they hope their city will not be seized on the opening night. The daughter of a cobbler tries her hand at being a war reporter in front of a camera while her father discusses his faith with his female customers. Life goes on, accompanied by the tolling bells from the Orthodox Church and the squealing of the tram. Mantas Kvedaravičius focuses his camera on a conflict zone and the people who live there. Everyday life develops a new rhythm of its own.
