Lila returns home to her family and fellow soldiers after spending months held captive as a prisoner of war. As an aerial reconnaissance expert, she was always on the lookout for the drones that she controlled from the sky. As a civil and a wife, she struggles to look forward to the future. The pain and trauma from her time in captivity continue to surface in dream-like ways, as something is inside her reminding of what she’s trying to move on from. Maxim Nakonechny’s debut film is a harsh and surreal tale about a victim who simply refuses to be identified as one.
