It is an existential film about Earth and unlike how it is represented as young woman by Dovzhenko, but as old one, who has five adult children. This one family exemplifies today's life in Ukraine of oligarchic feudalism that caused the change of survival strategies. Instead of resting in the shade of white acacias the old man Ivan and his wife Stepanyda struggle to survive the crisis. When their elder son died, they learn how to live further.
