Synopsis
This film is not about the revolution that changed Ukraine in winter 2013-2014. Not exactly. It rather shows a universal pattern of particular kind of uprisings – those that end with bloodshed. At first, the noble endeavor for freedom collides with the dark force of repressive rulers. Then eventually, after much confusion and chaos, the righteous anger of people changes to pure outrage. After the first casualties on both sides, no matter how black and white it seems from outside, the edge between good and bad blurs. And finally, all things ablaze.
