Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives we may not see the tragedy that can fall upon our closest ones. This story has actually happened in a regular Ukrainian family. Varya is a young 30 year old successful career woman. Despite her living with her mother in the same apartment, they don't talk much to each other because of Varya's often lengthy business trips. Being in the midst of her everlasting issues, Varya usually doesn't have time to listen to her mom. In Varya's absence, the mother was diagnosed with cancer. And only when Varya sees mom without hair, her life priorities fall in place. Actions speak louder than words. In order to support her dear mother, Varya shaves her head.

An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
