Poussée par le désir de révéler un secret de famille profondément ancré, la réalisatrice Olga Lucovnicova décide de se rendre dans une petite ville située aux confins de l'Oural. Pendant ses recherches multiples en vue de renouer avec son passé, la Russie déclenche une guerre. Les voix vont-elles de nouveau être réduites au silence ?
Vanuit de drang op een diepgeworteld familiegeheim te ontrafelen, reist filmmaakster Olga Lucovnicova van Brussel naar een afgelegen stadje, diep verscholen in de Russische Oeral. Tijdens die poging opnieuw aansluiting te vinden met haar onbekende familie en hun gemeenschappelijke verleden, begint Rusland een nieuwe oorlog. Zullen de stemmen uit verleden weer moeten zwijgen?
