    Brief synopsis

    2022. The two ukrainian sisters Eugenia and Nastya are warmly welcomed in Munich after they have to flee from their home country. The Ukrainians suddenly dive into a world full of sun, music and parties - as if they had landed on a paradise island. But what should they do now? While Nastya tries to enjoy her new environment, Eugenia struggles to join normal life because of war at home.
