On 25 of February 2022, Antonina Romanova and her partner joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Before the full scale Russian invasion to Ukraine, she lived a life as a director, performer and actress. See her personal journey of resistance to Russian occupation policies.

“My name is Antonina Romanova, and I’m a non-binary person.” We learn about her participation in the Crimean Tatar activities and the Euromaidan protest, her escape from Crimea and involvement in the Ukrainian fight against the Russian invasion. The film author assembles a puzzle from diverse elements, unafraid of experiment, and a personal story becomes a metaphor of Ukrainian strength in the face of the uncompromising enemy.
