CW: The film includes archival footage showing military action. It shows how the bodies of dead men are transported. There are several obscene expressions in the Ukrainian language.
Kostya Oborin went through hell in war, yet never lost his fortitude and faith in people. Now, in a rather unusual way, he helps people with disabilities bring back their thirst for life.
Oborin prepares two disabled veterans of the ATO (the War in Donbas) for a parachute jump. They've never skydived, but Oborin is both persuasive and reassuring: the jump is a method of rehabilitation, to broaden their minds and provide a strong, clear example of positive risk-taking. Training for it is not easy, but it's worth it.
