Marina (60), a maternity nurse, and her husband Gosha, a railway dispatcher, have spent years collecting small bribes to aord their dream trip to St. Petersburg and witness the White Nights.

When Russia invades Ukraine and the travel agency vanishes with their savings, their dream — and the illusion of control — collapses.

Gosha ends up in the hospital, beaten while trying to recover the money and long-buried betrayals surface, forcing the couple to confront the lies their life was built on and to search, among the ruins, for a trace of dignity and grace.
