The story weaves together memories and accounts from that period into a single 24-hour shift, during which a naïve young man confronts the brutal realities of the post-Soviet apocalypse, comes under the sway of his senior colleagues, and ultimately crosses the line of humanity. The film is based on the author’s real experience working as a paramedic with the psychiatric emergency response team in Dnipro in the early 2000s.
