The Forgotten Synopsis

Nina, a 30-year-old Ukrainian language teacher, can't leave the city of Luhansk, occupied by separatists in eastern Ukraine. She is forced to undergo retraining courses for teaching Russian. Andrii is a 17-year-old student who was orphaned in the aftermath of the war. Their paths cross when Nina witnesses Andrii being arrested by the police after placing the Ukrainian flag on the roof of his school. Nina knows that because they live in a world of injustice, Andrii can stay in jail for a long time. That's why she risks her life to free him. As they gravitate towards each other, they try to remind people in the occupied territories that they deserve a future, too.
