Two medics on the frontline of Ukraine’s war try to hold on to fragments of the normal life they had before, hoping they can go back when the war is done.

synopsis

Best-friends Cuba and Alaska, wisecracking medics on Ukraine’s frontline, live the same battlefield story as all soldiers: the longer they stand up for Ukraine, the more they lose contact with friends, family and their previous lives. With war so deeply rooted in them, can they ever go back to the life they used to know?
Meilleures amies Cuba et Alaska, deux secouristes pleines d’esprit sur la ligne de front en Ukraine, partagent la même histoire que tous les soldats : à mesure qu’elles défendent l’Ukraine, elles perdent peu à peu le lien avec leurs amis, leur famille et leur vie d’avant. La guerre s’est enracinée si profondément en elles… Pourront-elles jamais retrouver la vie qu’elles ont autrefois connue ?
Beste vriendinnen Cuba en Alaska, goedlachse eerstehulpverleners aan het front in Oekraïne, delen hetzelfde strijdverhaal als alle soldaten: hoe langer ze Oekraïne verdedigen, hoe meer ze het contact verliezen met vrienden, familie en hun vroegere leven. De oorlog zit inmiddels zo diep in hen geworteld… Kunnen de twee ooit nog terug naar het leven dat ze vroeger kenden?
