In Kabardino-Balkaria, the bus driver Tonja, Kseniya Rappoport, waits for the return of her son, Zhenya, Yura Borisov, who left to fight in Syria. When news arrives of his death, she refuses to believe it and launches a relentless fight with local authorities, demanding his return. As Tonja confronts officials and stages protests, she becomes increasingly isolated, determined to defy the official narrative.

Then, one day, Zhenya appears at her door, apparently alive. Though everyone around her—including officials and neighbors—recognizes him as her son, Tonja senses something off. He lacks familiarity with intimate family details, and his demeanor feels foreign. As their strained relationship evolves from suspicion and fear to a fragile acceptance, Tonja wonders if the state has sent an imposter to silence her. Her hope and distrust collide, leading to a breaking point when Zhenya is threatened with arrest and decides to leave for yet another conflict. In the end, Tonja is left questioning whether she ever truly saw her son again or if her desperate grief created an illusion of his return.
