This essay-film, set in Portugal, delves into the psychological impact of war on people, allowing us to gauge the effects of war within the director's personal experience of time. As the director studies Portuguese and compares the similarities and differences with Ukrainian while reflecting on their inner thoughts during the language learning process, these musings unfold through a vulnerable narration. This narration, in a voice still finding its tone, conveys the director's sense of solitude in an unfamiliar environment. This emotion connects with the loneliness of those displaced from their homeland, like the Ukrainians abroad, and those in their homeland enduring the uncertain times of war—two distant periods intertwined. The process of learning a new language gradually expands from its initial scenes to encompass the time of war, where the Ukrainians, uprooted from their land, intimately confront the battlefield.
