She must now decide whether to stay and fight, or flee to safety and join a Paris ballet. Yulya, the young wife and mother whose happy, normal life is destroyed by wartime forcing her to leave her husband and elderly parents to flee to another country to keep her children safe. Sasha, the dedicated doctor who risks all to selflessly stay and save lives regardless of politics. And Oxana, the elderly grandmother, too old to leave and devoted to her husband, is determined to stay in their home and care for him while life disintegrates around them. The impact of war on these women and the people they love, and how they face the challenge to keep safe comes down to the true meaning of love . . .
