About the film:
After transferring from a downtown high school, Tonia joins a new gang that roams the post-socialist suburbs of late-1990s Kyiv, having fun and getting into trouble. Soon, Tonia gets caught up in an alluring secret love triangle, but her troubled past still haunts her. Will she be able to find her way, or will she lose herself in this risky new friendship? Some things only exist in the moment, while others last forever.
