A nuclear accident leaves half of a nation's population deformed, defective, disabled. The government institutes a policy for the redistribution...of health. A young man, Adrian, is drafted to give up one of his eyes to an unknown blind person. As he is kept against his will in a clinic facility awaiting the surgery, he encounters different people with their own perspectives on the ethics of the practice: a nurse who has benefitted from a kidney donation, a doctor who is exempt from having to donate because of his profession, a fellow drafted donor who wants to help others and is going along with this willingly, and Adrian's father who blames his son for not choosing a path that would secure his exoneration.

Adrian is scared and angered at this violation of his body yet wonders if he is doing a good thing by helping someone in need. He observes the different ways various people perceive social justice and the importance of personal choice.

Director: Dima Otvertchenko
