Natalia, 67, lives in Kyiv on the very plot where she was born. To her, this place is paradise: she raised her children there and plans to spend the rest of her life on this land. Amid a joyful chaos, she keeps animals, grows flowers, and has turned her space into an oasis of peace and freedom. But the area around her is booming with new developments, and apartment blocks are springing up everywhere. Both developers and her own children urge her to leave her haven for a flat. Natalia resists, and when war erupts, she stands her ground, defending not only her house but her city, too.
