Oleksandr Ladyka

A unique drama anthology series for our time, inspired by true events which happened in Kyiv in the first few weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. As the brutal war got underway, every second person left Kyiv. Yet every second person remained. These are their stories – variously moving, funny, sad, stark, unsettling, and uplifting.

The events of the series unfold in the small town of Tyha Nava. A young lawyer, Adam Yushkevych, unexpectedly finds himself at the center of an investigation into a series of brutal crimes. Summer 2018. Adam and his fiancée Inna arrive for a vacation. After an argument, Inna goes looking for Adam and becomes the victim of a rape. The police refuse to properly investigate the crime, and the young woman begins to suspect Adam himself. Their relationship falls apart, but he cannot accept the silence and returns to conduct his own investigation. Soon, a new crime shocks the town — a rape and murder. Adam faces off against a corrupt system where law enforcement falsifies evidence, witnesses remain silent, and victims try to bury their trauma instead of fighting for justice.
