July 2014 Future parents Ira and Tolik live in the east of Ukraine - in the Donetsk region, bordering on Russian territory. The Donbass region is shaken by explosions and military equipment. The expectation of the birth of the first child was exacerbated by the crash of flight MH17, which occurred nearby. It increased the unapproachable tension that gripped their village: scattered debris of a downed airliner and mourning people around.

Tolik's friends, who have become separatists, expect him to take their side. This makes Ira's brother furious, as he suspects that the couple have betrayed Ukraine. A young woman refuses to be evacuated, even when the village is occupied by the military. She is trying to reconcile her husband and brother - she asks them to repair the bombed house.

A good way to learn more about the history and culture of a country is to study its people. All tour participants explore the Trubetskoy Bastion to find out who was considered an enemy of the monarchy and how they were punished for their erroneous thoughts.
