Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, an Iron Curtain has closed again in the middle of Europe. How does it feel to have Russia as a neighbor? What does it mean to live now, at this time, at this glo­ bal breaking point? What does everyday life look like for people who remain invisible on maps?

On a journey through five countries, from Estonia to Ukraine, we meet young people who are chang­ ing their life plans. Old people who fear a repeti­ tion of history and children who learn to shoot. An expedition into a little­known world – and yet into the soul of our continent. (Text by Henning Sußebach)
