In the summer of 2025, a group of volunteers sets out on a humanitarian mission to Donbas. The mission is led by Sergey, a volunteer whose life revolves around expeditions to the frontline areas. Along the way, he meets a military doctor known by the call sign "Storyteller." He tells Sergey about the Stone Desert, a place where life and death have changed places. The film is about how, without faith in humanity's ability to overcome death, we are doomed to live inside the dark fairy tale of the Stone Desert.
