Easter Day

On Easter Sunday in Kyiv, two soldiers from the army recruitment office drive slowly through the streets, watching men who might be called to serve. Their search leads them to a young man who has stepped out only to buy food for his cat. He may try to avoid their gaze, but yet on this holy day, nothing is as simple as it first appears.
