Rokas and Inga, a young Lithuanian couple, volunteer to drive a cargo van of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
When plans change and they find themselves left to their own devices, they cross the vast snowy lands of the Donbass region in search of allies and shelter, drifting into the lives of those affected by the war.
They approach the frontline in spite of the danger, all the while growing closer to each other as they begin to understand life during wartime.

Sharunas Bartas
Born in 1964 in Siauliau, Lithuania, Sharunas Bartas graduated from VGIK film school in Moscow. In 1989, he founded Studija Kinema, the first independent studio in Lithuania.
From early on, Sharunas Bartas met a great critical success. His films such as Three Days, Corridor, Few of Us, Peace to Us in Our Dreams, all built an uncommonly delicate aesthetic that his nine feature, Frost, keeps on expanding.
