A man alleging to be a schoolmaster is accosted by the military at a checkpoint. Two teenagers wait for their soldier boyfriends in a dilapidated town square. A journalist is held captive and gets brutally assaulted. A young woman apologizes to an elderly couple for running over their chickens. Four stories set against the backdrop of the Donbass roads, loomed by disorientation, paranoia, and terror, which challenge the very notion of truth.
