The body, real or symbolic, is treated as a surface to be opened, sutured, and reimagined. Using textures, objects, and silent rituals, the film contemplates the tension between vulnerability and resilience, between decay and the desire to mend. It is not about narrative, but about sensation. Not about answers, but about the act of touching what is broken.

In January 2025, experimental jazz duo Myshko Birchenko and Yevhen Puhachov, members of Hyphen Dash, travelled to Kramatorsk without any pre-made drafts or demo recordings to use music as a vessel to capture the emotions present in a place on the edge of a battle for survival and explore the therapeutic nature of music and improvisation in the brutal reality of war. They packed all the equipment into a car, drove 700 kilometres from Kyiv to the frontline city Kramatorsk, and turned one of many basements which serve as shelters into a makeshift recording studio. As a result, they recorded over 300 minutes of music, which were eventually distilled into a 90-minute album.
