The
Story
Three days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Masha was living safely in Estonia with her husband and son when she gets a call that completely shatters her. Her horse of sixteen years, Vasya, is going to be abandoned in a stable near Kyiv as the Russian army advances.
She tries everything from afar, but very quickly she realizes something heartbreaking: if she does not go get him, no one will. So she writes her will, says goodbye to her family, and makes the impossible choice to walk back into a war zone.
What follows is a desperate race against time, a journey across a nation under siege, forged through strangers who become sisters, driven by a bond between a woman and her horse and a Ukrainian spirit that no war could break.
At its core, the film follows a woman whose understanding of courage is transformed over seventeen days.
