Documentary that follows Go_A’s lead singer Kateryna Pavlenko in the build up to Eurovision 2021.

The documentary tells the stories of people who were just children during the Second World War and the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. Its protagonists now live in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Odesa, where the filming took place. They survived the ghetto and also witnessed mass shootings that took place, according to researchers, in about five thousand locations across Ukraine. Each of the heroes lost loved ones. Parents, brothers, sisters, loved ones. Everyone had a single task during these terrible years - to survive. The entire mosaic of terrible memories collected in the film is part of a story of survival.
