The fate of women against the backdrop of Transcarpathian history. The author's grandmother, Maria Fedorivna, recounts her life: how, as a 15-year-old girl, she had to marry into a second village because "the Russians were evicting the kulaks," how "the Russians" destroyed their family's house, the largest in the village, which had been built with money earned by migrant workers, took all their livestock and supplies, and sentenced her brother to seven years in prison. The wealthiest family was forced into poverty. The film also tells about the consequences of the 2015 earthquake in Okruha. When the tremors shook the village, Maria Fedorivna was in the hospital. Before she returned home, her relatives repaired the cracks in the house to protect Grandma Maria from anxiety.
