When Russian forces invaded Ukraine, Nika, the family dog of director Stas Kapralov went missing. Determined to find her, Stas sets out into a war-ravaged country and, in the process, gets drawn into a world of volunteers risking everything to save abandoned animals. His personal quest transforms into a humanitarian mission as Stas takes part in saving a blind lion, evacuating animals amidst bombings, and along the way, capturing stories of bravery and compassion. By the end of his journey, Stas finally learns the fate of his missing Nika.
