Thirteen short stories show a panorama of life in the occupied territories, from tragedy to comic farce. The "little green men" cannot remember the name of their "native town, nearby." A German journalist is greeted at a roadblock with the cry "The fascist has been caught!". Here they celebrate weddings and arrange street massacres, expropriate cars and money for the benefit of the "republics", and live in basements, to escape from shelling. Serhiy Loznytsia's film seeks an answer to the question: where in this kaleidoscope is the line between truth and fiction?
