Ukrainian Soldiers are playing soccer just a few miles from the front lines of the conflict with Russian invaders. The location of the field is kept secret to avoid giving away their position to Russian spotters. Despite being hit by Russian fire on the same day, soldiers from the Kupiansk Battalion find solace and a break from the intensity of battle through the game. The soccer matches allow them to momentarily forget about the war and remember "civil life." The soldiers believe that soccer helps them stay in shape and will eventually help them transition back to their normal lives.
