As the war in Eastern Ukraine takes a heavy toll on poor families living near the frontline, a small group of strong-willed social workers work tirelessly in a special kind of orphanage to create an almost magical safe space for kids to live in. The kids are temporarily taken from their families due to neglect or violence and can only stay at the orphanage for nine months, while the state authorities and courts decide the fate of the child and family.
