With the start of the large-scale full-scale war caused by the aggression of the aggressor country, almost every resident of Ukraine experienced great grief, losing someone close—relatives or friends. All that remains of these people, thanks to whom our lives were once full and happy, are warm memories, photos, and videos that serve as reminders of the important feat they accomplished for us at the cost of their most precious possession—their own lives.
And what should those who remain alive do when sorrow and despair often overpower the desire to move forward; when, continuing their journey through a country where the war continues, we witness new grief every day? How not to stop and despair in this situation? How to preserve the memory of our loved ones? How to fight our fears and doubts and not lose ourselves without the support we are used to?
The artistic story "Plateau" by Oleksiy Kucherenko attempts to answer these questions by describing an unexpected and mysterious story of the meeting of two old friends. The philosophical, and sometimes even mystically-fantastical story reveals issues of how a modern person perceives and interprets the surrounding world, as well as the constant search and perception of oneself within it, through the prism of personal hopes, fears, and the ongoing quest for the meaning and truth of our existence.
The story is dedicated to the memory of the author's close friend—Sergeant Mykhailo Rybitskyi, who died in the Russian-Ukrainian war on March 14, 2023, while performing a combat mission.

Not understanding how he got there and having almost completely lost his memory, he meets his old friend in this lonely, yet such picturesque and strange place. Communicating with him, he gradually begins to understand that the surrounding world is not as it seems to us, and that the "plateau" is very close to us, and each person has their own…
