They face impossible choices between motherland and grandmotherhood, and between staying and fleeing. Team member Sveta flees with her family to the Netherlands, while captain Valia and coach Nadia remain behind in the repeatedly bombed city of Kharkiv. The team is torn apart, and despite the terror, grief and pain of Sveta's survivor's guilt, the ladies try to stay in touch so as not to lose hope. Will the team be able to reunite, save their sisterhood and find a common language despite the growing scars of war?
