The protagonists of the film are “Ostarbeiter women”, women deported from occupied Belarus to Germany to perform forced labor during World War II. There were over 200,000 of them, and only a few hundred are still alive today. The protagonists of the film are between 83 and 99 years old and most of them have never shared their personal stories in public.

The white-red-white flag like never before has become a national symbol in the defence of which people are ready to sacrifice themselves.

The victims were documentalists who filmed the work of volunteers in hospitals.
