The story is about a man who lost five family members as a result of Russian airstrikes on a residential building in the Kyiv region. Two years have passed, and the remains of Vadim's relatives have yet to be identified. So he doesn't have anyone to bury.

Vadym is a fisherman from the Kyiv region. In 2022, the city was occupied. The Russians shelled the houses, and Vadym's five family members were all buried beneath the rubble. Excavations began after Ukrainians liberated the city.

Rescuers dismantle the house and recover the bodies. Vadym monitors the excavation every day. 29 bodies were found, but they could not be identified.
2024, Vadym has yet to find his relatives. The only thing that survived the fire and connected him to his previous life were the keys to the old garage.
