The film received a theatrical release in Ukraine on 25 April, 2024.[2][3] The film was also screened at the Intro film festival in Lviv, a festival dedicated to films about music and culture, in early April 2024.[4]
The film was one of the few feature films entirely created after the 2022 invasion of Russia into Ukraine.[5][6]
The movie revolves around the Zabiyaka family, one of many families affected by the war. Ivan Zabiyaka is an honoured Ukrainian railroad worker, living out his retirement in his native village in the Kharkiv region. His two sons and daughter are gathered at their parents' house for Easter. But since the beginning of the war, his behavior has become strange, according to his neighbours, often spending his time in his workshop. It is later revealed that Ivan is working on a rocket to hit the enemy capital, Moscow.[7]
