This is a film about a Ukrainian woman, who put her travel business on hold during Russia's full-scale attack and began transporting the bodies of military men killed in action. Like the mythological Charon, who transfers souls to the other side of the river Styx, she transports the bodies of the dead soldiers. Overcoming thousands of kilometres without any stops or sleep, she transports those who have finished fighting in this world and are on their last voyage.
