A Ukrainian family is spending their final day of vacation in Tenerife, Spain, when suddenly Russia’s ongoing occupation of Ukraine turns into a full-scale invasion. As their return to Kyiv becomes impossible, the tourists are forced to become refugees overnight.

ಉಕ್ರೇನಿಯನ್ ಕುಟುಂಬವೊಂದು ಸ್ಪೇನ್‌ನ ಟೆನೆರಿಫ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ರಜೆಯ ಕೊನೆಯ ದಿನವನ್ನು ಕಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ, ಅಚಾನಕ್ ರಷ್ಯಾದ ಉಕ್ರೇನ್ ಮೇಲಿನ ಮುಂದುವರಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಆಕ್ರಮಣ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದ ದಾಳಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾರ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಕೀವ್‌ಗೆ ಮರಳುವುದು ಅಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದಾಗ, ಈ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಕಳೆದು ಬೆಳಗಾಗುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರಾಶ್ರಿತರಾಗಿಬಿಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
