Overview
By fateful chance, Grigory – an elderly playwright from occupied Ukraine – ends up in conservative Europe as a refugee. Faced with an absurd, unexpected, new reality, he begins to write a comedy play about the real life circumstances of refugees. Despite the fact that he finds shelter in a Jewish dormitory, he gets a job as a chess teacher in a Catholic school, and even receives temporary EU citizenship documents. Throughout his ordeal, he desperately searches for a way to return to his homeland, Ukraine, the epicenter of war.
