Plot Summary:Russian citizen and Soviet-born Ukrainian native Vitaly Mansky crisscrosses Ukraine to explore Ukrainian society after the Maidan revolution as mirrored within his own large Ukrainian family. They live scattered all across the country: in Lviv, Odessa, the separatist area in Donbass, and Sevastopol on Crimea. The film is looking for reasons of the conflict after which citizens of a single country found themselves on a different sides of barricades including director's own family. The main narrative takes place in the here and now, starting with the turning point of ex-president Victor Yanukovych's flight to Russia. But below the main narrative there is a strong historical undercurrent, because the lives of protagonists of the film are marked by history on every step they take. This undercurrent will carry information about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict's deep roots in centuries of close ties between the two countries.

導演以自己的家族親戚展開了一場血緣之旅,地跨烏克蘭西部、克里米亞半島、敖德薩、頓巴斯以及莫斯科。蘇聯曾經作為一個身份共同體的想象已經破碎,與此同時,烏克蘭究竟有一個,兩個還是三個呢?是不是將所有俄羅斯族聚攏到一塊就是最好的身份認同?血緣關係在地緣政治關係面前變得淡薄,而俄烏兩族又源源不斷往前線輸送年輕新兵。想想也覺得悲涼。而曼斯基一如深入北韓那般“夠姜”,直搗DPR內部。看的版本是烏克蘭論壇分享的DCPRIP,但比官宣的112分鐘少了將近30分鐘。
