According to the plot, Mokrina Konovodykha (actress Veronika Golovanova) is the mother of 12 children and is ready to go through all the tortures of the famine, only if her children survive. “I can not die, because I need to raise children,” she says herself in desperation.

This is a story about the enormous power of the spirit of a woman-peasant who does not break under the oppression of circumstances and the surrounding reality.”The performance is not so much about that time, but about who we are. I wonder why we are such, and not others.

As a decoration, only 7 easels were used with photographs of people who survived the Holodomor. Actor was as if engaging with them in a dialogue during the action on the stage.
