At the center is a civilian living in a city at war — already exhausted by a personal crisis when the invasion begins. A year earlier, he lost the person he loved most and fell into a prolonged depression that drained him of meaning, creative drive, and the will to act. His attempt to seek psychotherapy results in physical collapse and new pain, and the only thing that truly helps is the therapist’s advice to keep a diary of his feelings.
When the war starts, the diary becomes a tool of survival: a way to document the chaos, fear, and rapid changes around him, to maintain a fragile sense of control over reality and his own psyche. Gradually, he realizes that these daily entries help him stay sane, find inner stability, and confront both himself and the world with honesty.
