A woman attempts to address the self that has shaped her life until now - the “Me” formed through trauma, habit, and survival.
Conceived in relation to the cinema of Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, the film locates meaning in the actor’s presence and in the organisation of cinematic form, rather than in dialogue or narrative guidance.
This encounter is not a dialogue but a struggle: the effort to speak to a governing inner presence in order to loosen its hold. As the film unfolds, the confrontation moves deeper, toward a dark, underground interior where escape seems impossible. In the final movement, a rupture appears - a hole, a glimpse of sky, hands reaching upward from below. Whether she gets out remains uncertain. What matters is that the exit has been found.

When Russia started its full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Slava Vakarchuk immediately joined the army. He is the lead singer of Ukraine's most popular rock band, Okean Elzy. He has put himself in danger by performing hundreds of times for the troops at the front, and is an articulate and highly respected advocate for his country's right to exist. President Zelensky gave him and his band a new mission - a world tour to champion Ukrainian culture and raise the morale of refugees living abroad. The band's performance at their sell-out concert at the UK's Royal Albert Hall acts as the spine of the film.
The band was formed on the dawn of independence, and their songs have become anthems of pro-democracy revolutions ever since since. The film charts the band's 30-year history with contributions from a varied group, including Timothy Snyder, Andriy Shevchenko and music producer Ken Nelson, all to tell the story of how 'soft power' can be used as a weapon of self-defence.
