Anna and Nadyia are two seemingly different women who are actually incredibly similar. Anna is in conflict with herself and her family, and she’s battling illness alone; Nadyia is fleeing a war which keeps her far from home. Everyone advises Anna to accompany her partner on a work trip and Nadyia to stay in Italy where she’s safe. When they meet, albeit briefly, they’re plunged into a sea of freedom.
