A family is enjoying their final day at the beach, unaware that their return to Kyiv will be cancelled as Russian bombs begin to fall.

A family—father Roman, stepmother Anastasiia, teenage daughter Sofiia, and young son Fedir—are enjoying their final day at the beach, unaware that their return flight to Kyiv will soon be cancelled as Russian bombs begin to fall. On 24 February 2022 their lives are abruptly upended, and while anxiously awaiting news from home, they are left to grapple with the uncertainty of their future. Amidst the idyllic surroundings of the Canary Islands, the family’s inner conflicts and guilt rise to the surface, revealing the emotional paradox of being in a safe place while their homeland is under siege. As tensions within the family grow, dormant issues threaten to erupt, much like the nearby volcano.
