synopsis

This studio exercise is an approximate reconstruction of what happened in June 2023 in the life of a Ukrainian editor. While she was in Prague editing footage of bare-knuckle boxing, her sister was celebrating her birthday in Dnipro and Wagner's paramilitary group was marching on Moscow. Amidst several parallel dramas, the protagonist struggles to maintain the order of the boxing match and in her own life.
