Storyline

It is 2014, and Mishko and Lev are villagers serving aboard the Cherkasy, a Ukrainian Navy minesweeper stationed at Donuzlav Bay in Crimea, which connects to the Black Sea. When the so-called "little green men" begin the invasion of Crimea and President Yanukovych flees the country, the Cherkasy and other ships of the Ukrainian fleet are blockaded on the bay, and one Ukrainian vessel after another surrenders to the Russians. Only the crew of the Cherkasy decides to resist, while the Russians prepare to attack the minesweeper; the crew must decide whether to defend themselves to the very end. Based on real events, it is the story of the last warship to sail under the Ukrainian flag in Crimea.
