In 1920, thirty-two-year-old Les Kurbas (the founder of the modern Ukrainian theatre), takes a group of young actors out of war-torn Kyiv into the countryside where they will perform plays, bartering tickets for food. One such play is Macbeth, the first Shakespeare production ever in Ukrainian.
While Kurbas and most of the company attend a show by a local theater company performed in their honor, six young women, four actresses, a pianist and a dancer stay behind with their children. Over a meal which they cook from the proceeds of that evening’s show, the young women talk, complain, joke, make fun of themselves, laugh, rehearse dances from the show, all while in pain, heartbroken, lost, scared and with a need to be together.
