February 2022. Ukrainian filmmaker Alisa Kovalenko resolves to fulfil a promise she made to herself: to volunteer in the Ukrainian Armed Forces if the Russian invasion of her country escalates to full scale. Leaving behind her 5-year-old son, Théo, she goes to fight on the frontline.
This film, which was never meant to exist, was born from the effort to preserve – amidst the horrors and dangers of war – evidence of a mother’s unwavering love for her child. Through intimate video diaries and poetic letters addressed to a future, grown-up Théo, Alisa captures the devastating reality of war while reflecting on her choice to serve."
