After a nuclear war, a  small group survives in a bomb-shelter. They fight for limited resources and struggle with radiation and monsters deep underground. This is the plot of a role-play game organized in Crimean bomb-shelters in 2019. The film follows a group of enthusiasts, who explored different versions of the future designed as a post-apocalyptic world. The role-playing game is a way of processing the memory of previous wars and reflecting on the possibility of nuclear war —a reflection that today seems uncanny in light of Russia’s invasion to Ukraine.
