Somewhere in Ukraine, a drone is scanning a forest for mines. It encounters a group of deer and succeeds in steering all of them away from danger, apart from one that refuses to leave.

Some thousands of kilometres away, an elderly Ukrainian woman, Valentyna, tries to navigate her way through Heathrow airport. She gets stopped by a Customs Officer for a routine check-up. The officer finds a jar of Ukrainian soil in her suitcase and holds Valentyna aside. Surrounded by multiple airport staff, her British-resident daughter, and a Polish interpreter, who all attempt to resolve the situation, Valentyna goes inwards and turns back into a little girl. She doesn't understand why her soil poses a threat.

Back in Ukraine, we get a glimpse inside Valentyna's house and garden that bears remnants of the life she left behind. A deer appears. At Heathrow airport, the confiscated jar of soil travels on a conveyor belt until the end. It falls off and breaks, atop a pile of other confiscated memories.
