The war split Nina Petrivna’s life into a “before” and “after.” Returning from the East, she took a job at the Zhytomyr Military Hospital. From morning to night, surgeon Nina Petrivna Shvydchenko operates, saves lives, and restores others’ children to health.

Within the hospital walls, the war is ever-present, every minute, every second. Yet, just beyond the hospital gates, the streets of her peaceful hometown of Zhytomyr are bustling with life.

In Nina Petrivna’s mind, this line between war and peace runs through her city, her work, her family, and her soul. And every day, every moment, she thinks of her son, Sergeant Vitaliy Shvydchenko.

One day, Nina Petrivna receives a call from the commander of the military unit where her son served. Never before has Nina Shvydchenko been so close yet so infinitely far from her son. She sets out again for the occupied territory in search of him and finds her son gravely wounded in the hospital of Sloviansk. But how to save his life and get him to freedom? This is the challenge she must face.
