Based on a true story, the film follows one of the most important and tragic events in the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine. Two fighters of the ‘Donbas’ Volunteer Battalion get locked inside the city of Ilovaysk after the regular Russian army enters Ukraine and shells the surrounded divisions of the Ukrainian Army in what would become the infamous ‘green corridor’. The fighters survive thanks to the help of the locals and manage to break out through the front line to reach the freed territory. Taras Kostanchuk, who is playing himself as ‘Beshoot’, is that same Donbas commander who is the prototype of the story. The actors and extras are all real fighters who play themselves, except those who did not survive the battle.
