Based on the real life story of Soviet physicist, Artem Alikhanian, this film presents a beautiful and tragic reflection on war as the main character deals with his own ghosts and tries to find a way to move on. The film moves back and forth between the 40s and 60s giving a unique perspective on World War 2 (or the Great Patriotic War as it was called in the Soviet Union) and the havoc it wreaked on the lives of young scientists. As life stops, the laws of physics continue.
